Windows 2008 Server + Powerchute ActiveX

Anonymous user · ‎2021-07-01

Hi all,

I just got a new server and a new smart UPS.
I connected the UPS using Serial.

I installed the latest PowerChute to setup the controls.

However when entering the http://127.0.0.1:3025/
I get asked to install an ActiveX tool. So when I choose to do so Windows is still blocking the ActiveX
So I cannot enter powerchute.

I already entered http://127.0.0.1 into the trusted sites section of IE.
I also allowed all ActiveX things in the advanced options.
I disabled the IE ESC

And still I cannot run the freaking ActiveX
At this point I am getting nuts and really wish to get this installed soon

Can you help me out please?

Best

BJ

Have you tried downloading and installing PowerChute 9.0? It's a 105Mb download but it might help.

Which version of powerchute are you using?

I am using PowerChute 8,5 which was delivered with the UPS.

And I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Foundation Edition, English, 64 Bits

I Just uninstalled PowerChute 8,5 and installed an older version (8.1)
But this could not even detect the UPS, so I installed 8,5 again.
