Windows 2000 Server Power Options
Hello Experts,
When I try to shut down my Windows 2000 Server, it will not fully shut down. It goes to a screen that says “it is say to shut down you computer”. Now I had Windows XP installed the same machine and I was able to get by this by using Advance Power Management. But I don’t see this option in W2k server. Any suggestions?
