Dependencies External to Configuration Manager 2007
| Dependency | More Information |
|---|---|
| Network cards must support the standard Magic Packet format. | All network cards that have the Windows Logo certificate support this Magic Packet format. |
| Computers must be configured for wake-up packets on the network card and in the computer BIOS. | Refer to your hardware vendor's documentation for information about how to configure this and the wake-up capabilities of the computer. |
| If you are using Wake On LAN with subnet-directed broadcast, all routers between the site server and target computers must allow IP directed broadcasts, and support IPv4. | Typically, routers are configured to not allow subnet-directed broadcast. Subnet-directed broadcasts are not supported with IPv6. |
Configuration Manager 2007 Dependencies
| Dependency | More Information |
|---|---|
| Hardware inventory must be enabled, and completed an inventory schedule. | |
| The Configuration Manager site must be a primary site. | You can configure child primary sites for Wake On LAN, but not secondary sites. Clients in secondary sites will be sent wake-up packets from their assigned primary site. |
| Client computers must be running the Configuration Manager 2007 client. | Clients running Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 do not support Wake On LAN. |
It’s biggest challenge that to configure the BIOS settings for all the Desktops when you have different models. I have put my finding here for TOP three Manufactures such as DELL , HP and IBM/Lenovo.
The Pre-Requirement at client end includes below two key configurations to be done at each client end.
1) enable Wake-On-Lan in BIOS
2) Configure Power capabilities on Network card Properties from device Manager
Okey coming to the first challenge enable Wake-On-Lan in BIOS on three manufactures
1) Dell – dell has DCCM (Dell Client Configuration Utility - Powered by Symantec) and other Management Software it has
2) Lenovo:- I have created a WMI based VBSCRIPT that will Enable WOL BIOS Settings.
' Use at your own risk
'Start Vbscript
'On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "HSCINHYDLT00012"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\WMI")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Lenovo_SetBiosSetting")
For Each objItem in colItems
'ObjItem.SetBiosSetting "WakeOnLAN,Disabled"
'ObjItem.SetBiosSetting "WakeOnLAN,Disable"
ObjItem.SetBiosSetting "WakeOnLAN,Enable"
ObjItem.SetBiosSetting "WakeOnLAN,Enabled"
Next
‘end vbscript
3) HP : BiosConfigUtility.EXE a tool from HP
need to show the configuration file to enable the settings
English
S5 Wake on LAN
*Enable
Disable
Save above fourlines in a text file as CONFIG.TXT.
execute the below COMMAND LINE.
BiosConfigUtility.exe /SetConfig:CONFIG.TXT
and above all can be advertise as software distribution package by creating manufacture based collections.
Now the Next key gole is to Configure Power capabilities on Network card Properties from device Manager.
to do this below script can be usefull** test and use with your own risk
‘vbscript start
