Hi

our W2K3 servers are too small to justify 3rd party applications or
hardware.

Is there a way to send notifications to the LAN clients when the servers
lose AC power?

Ideally - inform them when AC is restored as well.

thanx

perhaps the "net send" command would suffice.

thanks - net send will work (provided users will pay attention to it!)

but trapping the condition of "on battery power" - or "AC restored"?

Every UPS I have purchased so far came with a CD with management software
that did all of the above. What does yours do? If it only writes an event to
the Event Logger then you could pick up these events with a VB Script and
generate some EMail message.

the application delivered is only for local use

Event ID is ambiguous (7035) - nothing specific to the UPS device
