AutoExit is a power management add-in for Windows Home Server, which allows you to shut down and reboot client machines in your home network from within the console. Other options include the ability to suspend, hibernate, log off, lock workstation and the server itself can be shut down or rebooted.
The add-in is certainly popular with the WHS Community, as it’s our second highest rated add-in over at Home Server Plus!
Developer Nick Asseloos has today released a brand new update to the add-in, now christened AutoExit 2009.
What’s new?

- Send a message to all connected clients.
