Re: Any way to get UPS events to be recorded in the WinXP event log?

David, does your UPS have software with it? The PowerWare we use for our 400s has its own Windows app that responds to the status from the serial connection. Of course, I'm connecting it to the 400, not a PC, so I don't use the software.

Our office had a power failure last night and my machine went on battery power and subsequently shut off.

When I arrived in the morning, my machine was powered off ... and there was no obvious indication of why.

I looked in the event log but couldn't find anything.

After looking at all the recent events, I found the following...

Well this obviously indicates that we lost power ... but "Application popup" isn't what I would categorize a power failure as.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
