Windows 2000 Server Shutdown

[RodeSmurf]

Hi there,

When I install my "server" with an other OS. Like Win 98 my computers turns off the power by ATX support when I shutdown Windows. When I install Windows 2000 Server my computer fails to turn off the power. Does anybody knows how to fix this ?

There is no fix. Windows 2K Server will not power down. As of yet I do not know of any "fix". It is not a design flaw. I believe it is for redundancy, though I am not entirly sure why. Its not anything you did or your PC. Its just any of the Windows Server editions are that way. I dont know yet if XP will be the same way though.

My Win2k server powers off after shut down. It has sp2 on it.

Try the following to shutdown your server:
Enable Adavanced Power Management in BIOS,
Upon after it boots go to the Power Management in the control panel & check the box under the APM tab, reboot for the setting to take effect, then shutdown the server.
