I currently have w2k server installed with an APC Smart-UPS 1500VA battery backup. When I try to manually start the service for the uninterruptable power supply, I get this error message.
Could not start the Uninterruptable Power Supply service on local computer.
Error 2481: The UPS Service is not configured correctly
History of what has happened.....
The software for the APC Powerchute software v6.x was giving me problems i.e. services can not stop or start, windows installer not working, etc. I rebooted the server in safe mode, stopped all services to the powerchute software, and uninstalled the powerchute software. Now everything is working fine. BTW this is a known problem from Microsoft.
I have replaced the USB cable, removed the battery backup from device manager, and power properties actually see the battery is running on power or its batteries, but I still can not turn this service on.
I have checked power properties to see if I can manually select my APC, but I can not.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
