I do believe that a lot user might wonder why there isn’t hibernate feature in your Windows Server 2008 machine…Anyway a new version of Windows Server 2008 R2 has make re-enable it back to user so that they can continue enjoying the freedom of power off cache memory..hehe...For those user who still user the previous version before R2, here are some tips / tricks which help you manually disable & enable your hyper-v so that hibernate can alive in such condition…
1st : run > regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > hvboot >
2nd : set the “Start” value to 3 instead of 1
3rd : Restart your PC
4rd : command prompt > powercfg.exe /hibernate on
*please ensure that your hard disk has sufficient memory to perform hibernation.
5rd : Control Panel > Power Options > set the way you want hibernate started.
Now, when start your laptop you can have full access to the power management functionality. Now note that your hyper-v is not able be activated at this moment because it has been disabled. To enable it back …
command prompt > net start hvboot
Power management is then disabled again until the next reboot. ;-)
