We are using in version 8.0. We offered to be a BETA tester and the new wake on lan works great and the fact that the techs have access to it directly from inventory makes it better. We can now also use our RSA's at other locations as a wake on lan relay so that it is running wake on lan locally.

Oh and 7 years now since this very simple idea was raised...

So this is now marked as complete but when is it going to be available in the actual software??? Clearly nothing has improved since Quest has taken over.

Would love to see this implemented also. But given the propensity for Kace to vacillate on all the feature requests I am interested in I am not going to hold my breath. =/

Anytime soon would be great please!

Elijah Case - "Would be great to be able to use our Replication clients as WOL relays." I second this. That's exactly what we need, as we currently have Replication clients on each VLAN.

Could also use the same idea as Desktop Authority. In DA, they use the Domain Controllers as "beacons" to send the WOL packets.

Would be great to be able to use our Replication clients as WOL relays.

So the status to this was change in June 2015 to Planned and then in July 2016 its now back to Under Review with no plans for a release.

Seriously this is a joke. Now that Dell have sold their software division I can't see things improving either.

Any update on when this might be in place?

I've got PCs spread across 10 buildings (each with its own VLAN or two) around the city and with power control turning them off after 2 or 3 hours of no activity, having the ability to power a PC on as I need it would be extremely useful.

Thanks a ton Ken!

Make sure it supports Macs!

I put this request in 4 years, 5 months, and 9 days ago. I was hoping for a slightly faster response but I'll take it.

Jonas / Josh - I agree... I manage around 7,000 machines and the K1000/K2000 just isn't up to the task. I am very much looking forward to deploying SCCM so we can dump the KACE products.

Josh, we are migrating away from KACE towards SCCM, not for this specific WOL reason, but mainly due to cost.

How has such a simple request not been implemented in 4 years? Now that SCCM is included as part of my businesses annual licensing costs I'm starting to think that moving over would be a better solution for us than sticking with KACE.

We have a big problem with machines going to SLEEP as well. Would save us time from having to physically go wake machines up (or use other methods).

Also, how many of you know that the WOL packets are dependent on the router/switch ARP tables? Having the ARP tables cleared anytime over 5 minutes is a security risk for the organization. So, our WOL only works within 5 minutes of the machine booting up and getting an IP address. ARP WOL is about a 10 year old technology and should be revised using something else (like SQL database). Usually, machines will not move ports - making a database feasible for this cause.

Just my $.02

This is an absolute must!
A big bonus, which may need to go in a different request, and that is to allow WOL to be triggered in conjunction with patch schedules,

I would like to see this improved upon because one of our biggest problems isn't "Wake on LAN" so much as it is "Wake from SLEEP." Hopefully the packet going to the agent to wake up the PC can give this other part a nudge as well.

Crafting of a magic packet for wake on LAN is fairly simple so I would hope they could deploy this with the agent fairly easily. I would love to see this feature added.
