Danny,
sorry for the late response, Specops Gpupdate is using the MS Windows DHCP APIs
for retrieving the the information from the DHCP servers and is using a
directed broadcast to send the actual WOL packets. So if you can just get your
Unix DHCP server vendor to implement the MS APIs you are up and running ;)
Specops Gpupdate is actually using AD to find the the registered DHCP servers
so another type of registration would also have to be added to fully support
this, you are not the first one to ask, but please visit
www.specopssoft.com/forum and we'll be more than happy to answer any technical
questions and feature requests you may have.
Thanks,
Thorbjörn Sjövold

I know the SpecOps guys lurk on this forum so you should get a response, but I
would also suggest that they have a forum on their website for asking questions
and getting feedback from other users.

Including bugs! :)
Maybe should have been 2 emails - One here for any problems encountered and one
to SpecOps for technical detail.
Any users encountered any problems with this tool? :)))
Kind regards
Danny

Hi
Has anyone used the WoL feature of this tool? If so, can you let me
know of any issues that you came across please? We are currently only
interested in the Shutdown/WoL feature, and would be interested to know how it
obtains the MAC addresses required and the method of transmission of the wake
up packet across the subnets - to keep our active network team happy. They had
a recent incident with a Ghost server and they're a bit edgy. :)
Cheers
Danny
