Wake on LAN

[FN-GM]

Hi,

I am just wondering what system you use to WOL your machines? Do you have some sort of script to pull mac addresses from DHCP or something?

Thanks

Is on the the Features within Fog and used to use that.

A couple of methods, we have a script that adds the mac addresses (and other info) to the AD description. Also Lansweeper has a wol button on each machines details screen.

Impero for us FTW

We've got an app which grabs the Mac addresses and AD groups from our Spiceworks database so they can be woken up on a per machine or AD group basis, and updates automatically if the machine changes.

I use Advanced IP Scanner - Official Website - Free, fast and easy-to-use network scanner for Windows - Scan your network to get more information about all connected devices which also allows forced shutdown of machines.

It's custom written, I'm planning on making it available for download once I've ironed out a few problems with it, drop me a DM though and I'll get something sent over to you
