We recently installed a TrippLite UPS on a Windows 2000 Server. &nbsp;The software they provided did not work properly. &nbsp;However, when trying to use the built in support for battery backup, the UPS service will not start. &nbsp;It gives the following error: &quot;Error 2481: The UPS service is not configured correctly.&quot; &nbsp;I can't seem to find any info on this error on Microsoft's site or elsewhere. &nbsp;The strange thing is the UPS service will not start on ANY of our computers. &nbsp;I was wondering if this could possibly be a Group Policy problem. &nbsp;Is there any Group Policy setting that would affect the UPS service?

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
