    Power up sequence after power outage question

    I have 2 servers - 1 for Homeseer and 1 for weather/video cameras. When I have a power outage the 2 servers come back up and the Homeseer server boots up faster than the weather/video server. This causes a problem because the Homeseer server tries to connect to a shared drive on the other server and the Windows (2K) startup process stalls because it pops up a message box saying that it cannot connect to the drive on the other server.
    Anyone have an idea how to get around this problem?

    Rather than do a network share initially, you could connect later using the net use command:

    Open notepad and enter:

    net use G: \\remotemachinename\C /PERSISTENT:NO

    Then save as mapdrive.bat

    You need to change "remotemachinename" to the name of your Homeseer server and the C to the folder which is shared. G is the local share drive.

    There are lots of freeware start up delayer programs (or I expect you can get windows scheduler to do this) so just get it to run this bat file with a delay.

      Thanks, that'll work perfectly

      Thanks Jon00. I didn't even think about 'net use'. That should work perfectly. I've been away from computer support for 3 years now and it's beginning to show. Don't use those skills regularly and you lose them.

        Sorry to bring back this topic, but i'm interested to know how your computer is automaticly "powered on" after a power outage?

        Thank you!

          This is a bios setting in most modern PC's.

              BIOS it is (under power management)!

              Thank you both!
