Add-In: Lights-Out for WHS 2011 Version 1.5.0 Build 1545
The popular add-in Lights-Out is now available for Windows Home Server 2011.
Lights-Out is used to put a Windows Home Server 2011 into suspended mode or hibernation and resume on user defined events.
Version 1.5.0 Build 1545 of Lights-Out for Windows Home Server 2011 is the first official release for:
- Windows Home Server 2011
- Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials
- Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials
Known issues:
- Resizing the Dashboard to the smallest possible window size creates a distorted Status sub-tab. Workaround: resize the Dashboard
- You can’t load a Windows Home Server v1 Lights-Out license into this version. Lights-Out for WHS 2011 requires a new license file.
- Client GUI application is not started automatically after first client push installation. Workaround: Run via Start->All Programs->Startup, Lights-Out Client or log off and log in again.
- Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials wakes up every 30 minutes by Server Infrastructure License Service (silsvc). This bug is logged in Microsoft Connect under ID 642301 and 669083. See Server Infrastructure License Service (silsvc) wakes server every 30 minutes and vote for this bug!
The download can be found here as well as a 100 page User Guide in PDF format.

Again, the link in the page above for downloading the product does not seem to be working. I am quite interested in getting a lights out scheduling product for WHS2011. But alas every page that is describing a lights out product does not seem to direct to a downloadable location.
