Wake On Lan
hi
I need to get wake on lan up and running on around 2000pcs, all either Dell or HP with XP SP3 to be able to deploy software updates/packages at night.
Now i've managed to turn it on in the bios using Dell's DCCU and HP's SSM but I need to enable it in device manger.
PCs are running either a broadcom or intel nics (intel's have proset installed)
I've found a couple scripts but they didnt really work that great.
Anyone able to help out??

I am in the same boat with 2800 PCs. We have turned on WOL in BIOS, but haven't found a good way to enable WOL in the NIC driver. All of our computers are Dells (about 1/3 Intel - 2/3 Broadcom).
Have you found a solution to how to turn on WOL on the NIC?

See if this VBScript code snippet helps.....

First of all you have to enable WOL in BIOS and NIC. As ckought said, it's a manual task to configure these settings. Once you are done, you can use any free script or tool to initiate wake up. We preffer this tool, because it's free and allows us to collect MAC addresses from remote PCs easily: http://emcosoftware.com/wake-on-lan
