We run SBS on one of our laptops. We use WOL and it works fine. Most times the laptop is on anyway and if not we just need to push powerbutton on Booms to wake laptop/server. Duet controller is a little more tricky in the current firmware, it does wake server but doesn't pick up on it unless you return to main menu. But that's about it.
There are many advantages in using existing pc. Low cost, high performance, space saving, familiar OS. The only disadvantage I can think of (apart from a 3 second wake-up time) is that windows update from time to time will restart pc. But you could just change settings so it will always ask first. -- Letten Sboxes: Duet, Classic, Radio, 2 Boom's Server: HP Laptop, Core i5-540M, 4Gb DDR3, WOL (Wake-on-lan), 1.7watt suspended, Windows 7, SBS 7.5.3 Router: Linksys WRT54G wireless ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Letten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88501 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
