UPS Power Failure Notification

You can send a power failure message to all Windows NT network users who are connected to a computer by using the Send Message command on the Computer menu in Windows NT Server Manager. For example, you can do this before you disconnect one or more users or before you stop the server service on that computer.

Using SunLink Server Manager, you can warn users of server shutdown because of of power loss when an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) service is available.

For alerts to be sent, the Alerter service must be running on the SunLink Server computer from which the alert is originated (see "How to Start Individual Services"). For client machines to receive the alerts, their Microsoft Windows Messenger service must be running.
