I'm experimenting with Windows Server 2008 and all it's bells and whistles. I am able to use Wake-on LAN to switch the server on from another PC running Vista on the network (simple workgroup, not a domain), but what I'd like to be able to also do is have the server scan for clients on the network, and if one isn't found for a while (say 5 or 10 minutes), then the server just shuts down. Is there anything that can do this? JW
