Wake On Lan question

Hi everybody.

I run a script that use this method

to wake several computers in my environment.

Any of this doesn’t do the trick … and I don’t know why !!

So, I go to console selecting one of those computers > right click > Send Wake on LAN request and … it works (DAMN!!!)

What’s the differences between the two methods ?

Is there any way to activate a trace on Wake On Lan (like what sometime we do for Web Reports) ??

Thanks in advance

I believe the SOAP interface exposes the same functionality as sending WoL request by right clicking on computers.

There is also a minimum time interval of around 10 minutes before Server can send the next WoL request to the same computer.

This old thread shows how you can enable logging for WoL http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?id=4825
