Hello all,

my Problem is, that i want my Windows Server 2003 to switch into Standby after some time x, to save energy.
It will wake up on ping or some other request.

If the Standby-time is smaller than 5 min. - then it works fine,
but if the time is > 5 min. - the Server doesn't fall asleep!


First I thought something pings the Server from the network, so i separated the Server from the network,
but standby still doesn't work.

Then i stopped the "task-planer" service, so Windows can't start any hidden work,
but something seems to reset the idle counter.

Do someone know, which processes or events can reset the idle counter, and how to disable them?
