Luke 40145 Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Due to this requirement being a little too prohibitive we disabled it and stopped working on it.
inzombyac 69 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 That's unfortunate. Hopefully this will change in the future. For now I'll need to keep WMC around in order to record.
Luke 40145 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Leave feedback with Microsoft that you would like these api's to be accessible without elevation.
tmm1 5 Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 I set it for 5 minutes prior to starting the recording, including padding. I did find other documentation about the windows api call that we're using requiring elevation, so based on that I can't really commit to spending much time on this because nobody is really going to want to run the server that way. Do you recall where you saw that *WaitableTimer functions require elevation? I cannot find anything to this effect in the Microsoft documentation. I did find, however, that you have to change "Allow Wake Timers" to "Enabled" (from the default "Important Wake Timers Only") before they work. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/3764944/332798 and https://www.howtogeek.com/122954/how-to-prevent-your-computer-from-waking-up-accidentally/

See if that works. Thanks !

See if that works. Thanks ! I went ahead and tested this b/c the other guy never replied. That program wakes my server every time! I am certain that I did not run the executable elevated. I also ensured that Windows UAC was on the default settings (to make sure it wasn't elevating automagically). I did run powercfg /lastwake to confirm what woke the computer. It was a timer set by the program above. I am ready to be done with WMC as my DVR so this is very exciting news!
Luke 40145 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks for the feedback, that's very good to know.
Luke 40145 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 We can look into setting wake timers, thanks.
Luke 40145 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 This will be coming to the Windows Server two releases from now: Enjoy. 1
