Windows Server 2012 (R2) Essentials, Small Business Server 2011 Essentials and Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials or Windows Home Server 2011 is designed to run 24/7. Power management features are disabled by default. To enable power management features follow these step-by-step instructions. On a headless system use Remote Desktop to log into your server.
