This is easily solved with the std .net solution.
Throw money at it and buy more/bigger/lots of kit.
Where do I send the invoice?

At a place I worked at many moons ago we had a UPS for the servers. Around th office there were a few red plug sockets which people were told not to use (asking for trouble I know). When we had a power cut the UPS lasted 3 mins due to the load placed on it by fan heaters and kettles.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Originally posted by moorfield View PostNot knowing anything about what you're talking about, I'm curious to know, what is the solution then ?
The band aid they applied is to shut down the Exchange Service on the server to reduce power consumption. This will work in the short term but any additional loads placed on the UPS for any reason will tip it over again. On top of that UPS power outputs tend to degrade over time anyway so in 12months it's output may well dip back below the required levels and trigger the problem again.
The proper solution is to buy a new UPS with a larger load capacity.
I suspect the Team Leader involved didn't spec the UPS correctly and can't just order a new one becase then his mistake would be revealed."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

(There's also the question of why the server was running a service that isn't required - for efficient performance, a server should run only the services it requires to do its job. But that's a different manifestation of numptiness.)Comment

So now they have shut down the "Exchange Service", has anyone mentioned that email seems a bit dead?Comment
