Differences Between Desktop And Server

Ronin, you are right. Not shutting the server down in a proper fashion can corrupt files on the hard drive. The only time I recommend pushing the power button or cycling the power on your remote reboot port. Is when the server is not responding to any other commands.

I didn't know you could actually corrupt files by not shutting down properly!
Thats an eye opener.

I've never had to do this, and I think i'd really hesitate to use the shut down button even if nothing was responding.

James72, the chances are slim. But it could happen. I just wouldn't make a habit of shutting your server down by the power button.
