What about the BIOS trick I talked about?

 

Turn off the computer, boot into BIOS, then shut it down (this is important, if 
it ever even starts loading Windows you have to restart the whole process). 
Now, try to wake it.  if it wakes up, it is an OS problem. If it doesn't wake 
up, it may or may not be an OS problem, but I'd say start looking at upgrading 
BIOS first.

It does get the packet. And it will wake up when asleep, just now when powered

You can check if the computer is getting the packet by running a WOL packet 
sniffer on it while it's on. Send the packet to the computer from the CM server 
and see if it comes through. If it does, it's probably not a network problem.

OK, after working with our network team, WOL *does* work from CM, but only when 
a computer is sleeping. I tried your power into BIOS trick, and it still 
wouldn’t wake. I looked at the BIOS settings, and Deep Sleep Control was 
enabled. The article below suggests that disabling this might work, but it did 
not. If the computer is fully powered off, it still will not wake. The article 
also states:

 

These systems should wake from the System Power States: Sleep (S3) or Hibernate 
(S4). The SHUTDOWN (S5)power state is not supported in Windows 7 and SHUTDOWN 
(S5) and Hybrid SHUTDOWN (S4) power states are not supported in Windows 8 for 
Wake-On-LAN.

 

Welp, I’m in state S5, so what to do?

View page three of my troubleshooting WOL and SCCM:

Is the NIC On:

If there are no link lights on the back of the computer, where the network cord 
is plugged in, then your NIC is probably not getting any power. Because of 
this, it won’t be able to turn on the computer when packets are sent. Check 
BIOS and / or Windows to see which is turning off the NIC. The next trick will 
tell you how to narrow down which is causing the problem.

Is This A Windows Problem or BIOS Problem:

One interesting trick you can do is power off the computer, and then power it 
back on going into BIOS. Sometimes, Windows turns the NIC off when the computer 
is powered down, and this action will turn back on the NIC. Now, power off the 
computer (make sure it doesn’t boot into Windows) and try to wake up the 
computer. If it wakes up, and it never woke up before, you are probably looking 
at a Windows setting problem or a driver bug. If it doesn’t wake up, check the 
BIOS. make sure all the settings are correct, and if they are look into 
updating or downgrading the BIOS.

We have WOL enabled on our network. I’m able to wake a sleeping computer, but 
not a powered off computer. I verified WOL is enabled in BIOS and the network 
adapter is not getting powered off. Is this normal?
