From: DE on 25 Mar 2010 00:50 On a Windows 2003 server, a standard battery icon has appeared in the system tray. The system indicates it is on batteries at 100%, even though it's plugged in etc. and is a standard rack-mount Proliant server, and the power options are set to -not- show the icon in the system tray although of course, the system doesn't have batteries in the first place. The only reference to this happening that I can find in a web search is on a paid site. Anyone ever seen this, have any idea why the icon appeared in the tray? Thanks.

Do you mean Experts Exchange? Specifically this page: http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/SBS_Small_Business_Server/Q_23501132.html If so, just scroll right to the bottom to see the answers. Unless the question is very recent, you can see the answers without needing to log in. As per this article, perhaps try: powercfg /GLOBALPOWERFLAG off /option BATTERYICON -- Chris M.

Thanks for the hint; I didn't scroll down, clearly. More to the point, thanks for the info. -- DE
