Hi,

This is one feature that we may like to have, Where in while deploying the Custom packages on the network, if the machine is OFF, the application can power on that machine with Wake up on LAN feature, using the Network boot option i.e through NIC card and then push the package.

Please post if you think its worth a thought.

regards,
Manish.

Yes.

The SEPM already has all the information that it needs to perform Wake On Lan, why not use it?

He's not saying it's

He's not saying it's implemented. He's saying SEPM knows the MAC address and could use it for sending a magic packet.

Great minds (yours, mine and Jeremy's) think alike: I had the same Idea as you and the same observation as Jeremy: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/idea/add-wol-sepm.

I've voted your idea up...consider voting mine up!
