Shut Down Schedule

[zernik]

I know that you offer all of your versions as a demo cd. But the SMB version already covers 90% of our needs. I just wanted to say that I would like to see this funtction in the new releases of the SMB version. I mean a normal shut down scheduler is nothing that special that it should be only reserved for "enterprise" solutions. Even small clients are dependent on such functionality without thinking in "enterprise" formats. Bit I know it's all about trade offs...

Thank you very much

Thanks for the response - I will ask our engineers about this but not sure if it will happen. Over 85% of our products being purchased are Enterprise versions and they would like to keep focus on the leading product lines. Thanks again for understanding.

Hi Todd,

I just thought a little bit longer about it. I even think that a shut-down scheduler is even more important for "small" clients than for "enterprise" clients. Enterprise solutions normally run theirs servers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year without shutting them down. Especially the smaller clients (in our case a dentist practice) have the need of it. We don't have patients at weekends, so we would like the server to shut down on Friday night after all backups are done and nobody is in the pracice anymore.

Do you have a workaround?

I have discussed this with our development team and there are no future planes to implement this in NAS-XSR SMB, it was designed from the beginning for Enterprise versions.
