ConfigMgr 2007: Implementing Wake-on-LAN (WoL)

J.C. put together a nice article describing all that is necessary to implement Wake-on-LAN in ConfigMgr

To save energy, send your PCs to sleep, then shake them (nicely) awake with Wake on Lan (WoL)

The team at The Manageability Team Blog have posted a very comprehensive article on how to setup Wake

Hi and Thanks for such an informative article.

My question is related to the script that has been provided to enable WOL for Network Adapters.

When I ran this script on a test computer from command prompt, I get the following Error:

Enabling WOL for the following Adapter:

Packet Scheduler Miniport [MAC ADDRESS]

C:Program Files\LANSCRIPT\lanscript.vbs (27,13):0x8004100C

Now when I checked this error, It gives me the defination " NOT SUPPORTED " SOURCE : WMI

What is wrong with the script and how can it be fixed.

Regards,

NAveed

Late to comment here, but nonetheless...

It is quite a relief to find this article.

The explanation or SCCM trying to ARP a machine *before* sending a WOL packet (????) explains the erratic behavior I have seen (I have had my site settings set for unicast WOL packets, for the very reasons discussed in the article above.)

Also- this is an EXCELLENTLY written script.

In case someone from development sees this:

I REALLY hope that this attempt to ARP before sending a unicast WOL packet is dropped in bugfix or SCCM update sometime if at all possible.

This script must be run with wscript.exe. If you use cscript.exe then you will get a wmi not supported error and the script will not work.

Disregard my previous comment, the script will work with both wscript.exe and cscript.exe. I am having trouble getting it to work remotely using psexec but it does work if I run it locally.

I was able to get this to work remotely by not using psexec and instead replacing //./ with //computername/. Author please feel free to delete my previous two comments.

The script works by running it interactively, but when we tried to implement it using SCCM or running under the SYSTEM context in psexec, we got error code 0x8004100c. To get this to work we had to add the LoadDriver constant in the GetObject/ExecQuery WMI calls, i.e., instead of:

{impersonationLevel=impersonate}

we put in

{impersonationLevel=impersonate, (LoadDriver)}

and it works.
