We have an APC UPS. I want a Windows 2012 R2 server to shutdown on a power breakdown (and the remaining power lasts for e.g. 15 minutes). Therefore the UPS should send a message to all servers via SNMP. I think this should be possible. Is there an onboard way in W2012 Server to listen to these messages? I've already installed the SNMP service in Windows. I also tried the PowerChute software (Business edition) by APC but did not get any results. Can you help me? Thanks!

You could use apcupsd for Windows, or the Powerchute Network shutdown software (not the Business edition you have).
See this answer as well here for SNMP discussions, but it isn't a recommended option to try: APC Smart-UPS: remote power shutoff?
