weekdays
To create a
basic schedule for servers to be on during office hours of 9AM to 5 PM select Every Weekday on Step 1 and then create
a schedule for 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM where the server is in On mode on Step 2.
However,
you may also add additional events to specify whether the servers should be
On-Demand or Off outside of these hours. Do this by adding a 12:00 AM to 9:00 AM event and a 5:00 PM to 12:00 AM event with the
appropriate mode selected for both.
Servers must be off at weekends
If you know that your servers will not be
needed at weekends, you can create a schedule that will ensure they are turned
off by selecting Every Saturday and
Sunday on Step 1. Then add an event on Step 2 that runs from 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM with the mode set
to Off.
Servers must be on every Wednesday to download Windows updates
If you want ensure that your servers are turned on on a
specific day each week, to download Windows updates that are released on a
Wednesday, you can do that by selecting on Every
Wednesday on Step 1 and then selecting a time that is convenient on Step 2
for the servers to be On - the
updates won’t take all day to install so you might want something like 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
Servers must be off on public holidays
If servers
are only needed when users are at work, you may want a schedule that makes sure
the servers are turned off when it is a public holiday.
For
example, if you want to turn servers off on Christmas Day, choose On 25/12 each year on Step 1 and on
Step 2 on Step 2 add an event that runs from 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM with the mode set to Off.
Then create
separate schedule that apply to the other public holidays, such as New Year’s
Day and so on.
Server is only on for the first full week in a month
If you want
a server to just be turned on for one week in every month (turning on first
thing on Monday and turning off last thing on the Friday), 2 schedules can be
created that will work together to achieve this.
For
example, if you want servers to only be turned on during the first full week of
a month create one schedule to turn the servers on a the start of the week
(select On the First Monday in the Month
on Step 1 and add a 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM
event on Step 2 which turns the server On)
and another that turns the servers off at the end of the week (add second schedule
On the First Friday in the Month on
Step 1 and add a 11:30 PM to 12:00 AM
event on Step 2 which turns the server Off).
