[libvirt-users] Remote Shutdown of Server 2008
Good afternoon, I have a VM of Microsoft Server 2008 SP1. I am using virsh commands to power it on/off. I can power on/off when the admin is logged in to the Server VM, and when there are no users logged in, but when the admin locks the screen, I cannot seem to power it off. The virsh command states that the domain is being shutdown, but it in fact does not. I looked at some registry settings for the VM (server 2008) and see if I can pinpoint an entry I need to set, but had no luck. Any ideas? Thank you for your support. - Frank G. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But without that, you are stuck with the fact that by default, Windows ignores APCI interrupts when locked. There might be a registry setting you can tweak to make Windows behave differently than default, but offhand I don't know what it would be. -- Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
