| Jun 10, 2013 at 2:40 | comment | added | Davidw | Ok, it's definitely not that, then, as Windows Server does not have any Sleep modes. Have you tried using the Command Line Shutdown command, or Powershell's Stop-Computer commandlet? | |
| Jun 10, 2013 at 2:38 | comment | added | 0xFE | It's Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. The default action is Logoff, but I make sure I click Shut down when I want to shut down. I'm preparing a Linux live-USB to try it out. | |
| Jun 10, 2013 at 2:32 | comment | added | Davidw | What is the OS? It sounds like the default action for the shutdown button in the Start Menu is Standby or Hibernate. | |

| Jun 10, 2013 at 2:02 | comment | added | cutrightjm | When you attempt to power off the computer using the OS, are the HDDs active, any blinking lights, does a mouse/keyboard movement start the computer? If not then it's most likely not a software related issue (at least on the Windows side) | |
