PCNS configuration issue on Windows Server 2012
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.

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.
