I have Scanner running on WHS2011 server which is also running the add-in LightsOut. I have the server scheduled in LightsOut to awake for a few hours in the morning to perform the server back-up and then again later at night to back-up client PCs and shut them down. Except for the scheduled back-up times, the server is usually in hibernation (sleep not available on HP EX495) The server is occasionally awakened by the clients to access shared files. When Scanner runs in this use case it appears to start over every time the server awakens from hibernation but is usually suspended by the drive activity of the backups. There is never enough awake time to complete a single HDD so Scanner keeps starting over with the same drive.
I would like to schedule Scanner to run on a specified schedule - say the first of the month and set-up a schedule in LightsOut to keep the server awake in the early morning hours so Scanner can perform uninterrupted. Unfortunately, I can't determine how to configure Scanner to a specific calendar date. Any ideas or suggestions? Maybe I am missing something obvious/simple? Thanks!!
