At my workplace, we generally distribute patches overnight so as not to disrupt people working. Some users prefer to set their computers to hibernate overnight, and BES appears to have a problem deploying to those computers while they are hibernating. Is there any way to bypass this, other than just applying patches for those users separately? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ajponte,
The WoL standard may not be able to wake a machine that’s suspended or hibernated, depending on the hardware and driver implementation. You might be able to find a setting in the NIC properties or BIOS to allow wake from suspend.
Failing that, there’s the Wake From Standby feature in Power Management, that might do what you need if you have that product: http://support.bigfix.com/product/documents/PM_UG.pdfhttp://support.bigfix.com/product/documents/PM_UG.pdf
