Out-of-Band Management and Wake-on-LAN

Question

Hey

 

Me again...

 

I've installed the Out-of-Band Management on my SCCM-Server and enabled Wake-on-Lan on the System Site (Doesn't matter if i enable unicast or subnet-broadcast).

If I check the option Wake-on-Lan in an advertisement of a Windows Deployment Task-Sequence the client does not start at the given time. The client stays powered off.

 

The problem is not the switch, neither the client. I've tested wake-on-lan with a freeware tool called "Wake On LAN Ex". If i try to wake up my client with this tool it works.

 

Could anyone help me?

Thank you very much.

PS:

I'm having my final thesis of my apprenticeship in 2 weeks, SCCM is a part of it. That's why i ask such a lot questions... =D

 

EDIT:

Environment:

SCCM-Server - Win2k8 Ent. x64

SQL-Server - Win2k8 Ent. x64, SQL2k8 Ent.

Client - Win Vista SP1 Business x86

Firstly which version of SCCM are you using? Rightclick on your site and click properties. The information is below the general tab

 

If you look into resource explorer for the object you want to "wol"

 

Is the IP Address/Mac adress spesified here correct?

 

SCCM uses hardware information when sending out the wol packages.

 

what does these logs say?

 

<SCCM instal dir>\logs\wolcmgr.log

<SCCM instal dir>\logs\wolmgr.log

Hey wmmayms

 

Firstly which version of SCCM are you using?

System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SP1)

Version: 4.00.6221.1000

 

Is the IP Address/Mac adress spesified here correct?

Yes, the MAC-Address is available and correct

 

what does these logs say?

They seem to be fine, i checked them with SMS Trace...

 

Hmm... very strange... It seems to work now... I didn't change anything... :huh:

Emm... Is it possible to make my client start in PXE automatically, I mean without changing any BIOS-Settings...?

 

Thank you

Now I've tried the WOL on a second client on wich it didnt work.

 

make sure that the pc's you are trying to WOL have had a clean shutdown first, a clean shutdown is where you tell the OS to power down using the start menu, a dirty shutdown is done by holding the power switch until all power is cut.

 

PC's in a dirty power down state, can fail to WOL, so be sure to check that....

 

cheers
