What is GridJunction?

GridJunction is an easy to use Windows Home Server Add-in for managing an Uninterruptible Power Supply Battery Backup System via the Windows Home Server Console. GridJunction integrates seamlessly to issue power alerts and help protect Windows Home Server from power problems such as brownouts, or blackouts by safely powering down the Windows Home Server when battery levels reach a set threshold.

Protect your Home Server!

Whenever your Windows Home Server suddenly looses power or otherwise halts or restarts without warning there's a possibility that the Windows Home Server file system may have been in an inconsistent state at that time due to data writing or disk balancing activities. If you are unlucky, this can not only corrupt your file system requiring a reinstallation of the Windows Home Server Operating System but possibly destroy important data.

Which battery backup systems are supported?

Generally speaking, the most commonly used uninterruptable power supply
manufacturers such as APC, Belkin and Tripp Lite (among others) are
known to be supported. But given the vast number of models and
variations we are working on specific UPS recommendations; to be
released shortly.

Do I need any special drivers or software?
In most cases the vendor supplied battery driver or the generic windows battery driver should be sufficient. Unless the manufacturer included specialized software for explicit use on Windows Home Server(s) we do NOT recommend any manufacturer supplied software
to be installed besides the driver (if required). In addition we
recommend that any users who already installed any of such software to uninstall it before installing the GridJunction Windows Home Server Add-in.
