Hi

Is there some trick to configuring Powerchute Network Shutdown on Windows Server 2012?  The software installs fine, but when I navigate to the network configuration page it does not present any options

The same page on a Windows Server 2008 machine enters a wizard to configure the network.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

David,

Uninstall PCNS and reinstall it should resolve the issue. If it does not, after reinstalling stop PowerChute service and edit pcnsconfig.ini to include the proper ip info of the local host and NMC.

[NetworkManagementCard]

mode = single

IP_1 = 192.168.1.10

port = 80

protocol = http

enrolWithNMC = true

acceptCerts = false

[Networking]

protocol = https

httpPort = 3052

httpsPort = 6547

NetworkConfig = IPV4

ESXiVirtualInstall = false

HyperVVirtualInstall =

MulticastAddress =

IPv6NetworkConfig = unicast

localHostAddress = 192.168.1.11

UnicastAddress =

Also add the user name and password info to the network management card section. This information will be removed once the PowerChute service is restarted.

password = XXXXX

username = XXXX

After editing the ini file restart PowerChute. You should then be able to log in using the user name and password you added. I recommend rerunning the configuration wizard to complete the set up.
