I need a solution
Customer wants to wake-up any machines that are turned off prior to delivery of patches. However, as it is undesirable to send broadcast WOL to every machine on a local & remote subnets, I don't want to use the option within policy and I've tried to use the instructions outlined in the following article: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH199794.html
Per instructions, I've done the following:
- Created a Power Control WOL task under Manage > Jobs and Tasks.
- Modified the Power Control WOL task with following settings:
- Power Command = Wake up (send Wake-On-LAN)
- Port for WOL packet = TCP/IP port in Global Agent Settings
- Created Server Jobs to run a specific time & immediately for a specific target using the Power Control WOL Task - failed
- Created "Client Jobs to run a specific time & immediately for a specific target using the Power Control WOL Task - failed
- Created "Client Task Schedule" to run a specific time & immediately for a specific target using the Power Control WOL Task - failed
NS server is running Version 7.1.8400
WOL has been enabled in BIOS for both test machines.
What am I missing? Thanks.
