Continous wake up issue with Server 2008 R2 Foundation.


we have deploying server 2008 r2 since october 2009, where servers are "hibernated" during day (and weekends) , in evening either wake via scheduled task (or wake on lan), job , when finshed during middle of night re-hibernate. been working fine since october 2009. server 2008 r2 handles power control fine.

however have started deploy server 2008 r2 foundation (and instead) , having issues getting server 2008 r2 foundation stay hibernated.

it appears server 2008 r2 foundation server continually wakes 1/2 hour after has been hibernated, which means spends day power cycling. wakes up, finds nothing goes hibernate.

the output of powercfg -waketimers gives:

timer set [service] \device\harddiskvolume2 windows\system32\silsvc.exe (silsvc) expires @ 16:34:40 on 19/05/2011.

i assume service continually waking server. wake timer task not present on server 2008 r2 (standard) systems.

so far have been unable stop scheduled task or find work around stop server waking after has hibernated. not spurious wake on lan networking cards removed/disabled.

 

anyone got ideas how stop server 2008 r2 foundation continually coming out of hibernate ?

 

also has implications me @ home have nice hp microserver supplied server 2008 foundation not wish have running @ 50watts 24/7 considering may accessed in evenings , weekends, unable keep hibernated (at 6watts consumption) wakes again 1/2 hour later. might have return s/w , switch ubunto server @ at least stay off once hibernated .
