I have a new Dell PowerEdge T320 running Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
All my clients are connected with the SkipDomain option enabled.
I want to have the server sleep except when it is backing up.
I suspect the issue is on the server side, sleep is not currently an option on the power options.
Here is today's GUI log after trying to put the server to sleep via Lights-Out:
2014-01-01 00:24:57:764 [ 1] DEBUG Backup is running True
2014-01-01 00:31:39:203 [ 1] DEBUG Backup is running False

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue. I really do not want to leave the server running 24/7.
Thanks,
Andrew
