  • 1.  7.1 Maintenance Window Wake On LAN?

    Posted Jul 31, 2013 06:38 AM

    Hello all, I was wondering if setting a Maintenance Window will automaticly run a Wake on LAN?

     

    We are wanting to run Microsoft and some other vendor patches over weekends using Altiris Patch Management.

    We've set a policy with patches and told it to use the maintenace window we've set up (Saturday nights)

    In the Policy itself is an option to Wake on lan if you want to push the "As soon as possible" but cant find anywheer to Wake on LAN with the Maintenance Window?

     

    So the question, will it WOL as standard or does something need setting to get it to WOL all computers effected by the Maintenance Window?

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    in this combination like you described there is not automatism to WOL the clients. The maintenance windows will not WOL your clients. You can have a task which sends the WOL signal just a few minutes before the maintenance window begins.

    Regards
