    How do I set up file server sleep / wake profile


    Newbie alert!

    OK, I run 2 PCs, one of which I work on and one of which I use as a file and media server for both home and work files and this machine hosts the homegroup. The file server is the machine in question and is a Win 7 pro x64 box.

    I have scripts that run every hour (via task scheduler) and on shutdown (via group policy / shutdown) that does a robocopy to an external hard drive and all the relevant folders are synced using OneDrive for Business. Sweet.

    OK so what I want to do is to leave the machine on all the time, have it go to sleep when idle after say 5 mins, wake up on LAN (somebody accessing files remotely) and wake up at the hourly back up runs. Please could somebody give me the appropriate sleep / wake options to set so this works nicely. I currently can't even seem to get the box to go to sleep using the "sleep after..." command in power settings.

    Thanks!

My main system has Windows7 and I have an HP Proliant Microserver with Windows Home Server 2011 (probably irrelvant) and Wake on LAN hardware. The server is "off" right now, but the LAN activity light is blinking, so the LAN card has retained power (for the W-o-L function). Do I have all I need...

When it boots, it shows a...
