Wake on Lan automation

We enabled WOL (Wake on LAN) on our desktops. It would be great if we can schedule a WOL packet being send to offline computers before processing the automation task. So we never interupt the end users by processing the updates outside office hours.

    yes please !

    Dealing with powershell scripts on the customer side is a bit 90´s

    This was sugested in 2021 and is not implemented yet, why is it not done?
    Its a basic function in most MSP tools today. We just switched to Atera and was surprised that this is missing.

    Any Update on the Progess ?

    like the Idea of Booting the Clients, applying the Patches an shutting them down while the Customers are not at the office

    Currently i am messing arround with custom WOL Tools. But. everything under one hood would be appreciated

    Hi there, this would help the patching cycle a lot. It would save everyone so much time. Appreciate the concideration.

  • Rodney Sadler commented  ·   ·  Report

    I do agree that this added feature would be great and a huge time saver for us.

    This would be great feature as Energy cost continue to rise in the UK. With this only one device need to be on to wake the reset to say install updates or any automated task. Massive saving if you have a lot of machines.

  • John Hoke commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, having it a part of patch automation to find and wake machines, instead of trying to create a script for it and have that run would be helpful.

  • Paul Rose commented  ·   ·  Report

    Would like to simply select some or all offline machines and have a top feature button to click and to wake them, instead of one by one

    This is very critical to our workflow. Look forward to seeing this get added
