Hello,

i have 2 KVM Machines. One Windows SBS and one Windows 7 machine. On both machines i have changed the policy "Allow system to be shut down without having to log on". I have checked, that no user is logged in.

I have tried to backup the machines over the sheduler, the backup failed because the machine didn´t shutdown and get a time-out.

If i tried "qm shutodwn 123" or make a backup "manuel" over the shell, 3 from 4 are successful. Can anyone tell me, where the problem is?

Regards, Valle

the logs shows it -

got timeout
 
works here. so I assume it has something to do with your windows policy or the windows just need to much time to shutdown. also search the forum, there are more discussion regarding this.
