I recently encountered a situation with a Dell workstation that would unexpectedly go into hibernation (sleep mode). This occured even though I had gone into the power profile settings and turned off both hibernation and sleep mode. I had also turned off the power save mode on the NIC card. And there was no UPS software installed on this workstation. I was out of answers.
A tip of the hat to my fellow SBS MVP’er, David Nickason, who provided the solution. He said that he has seen this on several Dell workstations. He went on to say that simply turning off hibernation doesn’t always work, and you need to actually disable it. How do you do that? With the powercfg command.
To disable hibernation on a workstation, open up a command prompt in Administratror mode, and type: powercfg /hibernate off
r, which was to not only turn it offis to open up a command prompt.identified the solution.I love the Remote Web Access (formerly Remote Web Workplace) available in the Small Business Server (SBS) platform since SBS2003.through SBSRecently I’ve had a couple of workstations at different offices
