Care to share how you're doing it with the Dells? I'm assuming a script using OMCC, but I'd be interested in the details.
From: Oliver Marshall [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 1:38 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Remotely enable WOL on lenovo machines Anyone here using Lenovo machines in the field and have a *working* method of enabling WOL post-install? We have about 150 that we want to enable along with about 50 Dell machines. The dell machines have proved very easy to enable remotely. The Lenovos have proved very challenging. The Lenovo PDFs aren't even correct and certainly don't work (they relate to WMI fields that are spelt wrong, don't exist, don't contain the data types mentioned). There's a few VBscripts and exe's kicking around but most appear to be for older machines or just don't work. We're told by Lenovo support that all we need do is to set the NIC to be able to wake the machine but, on its own, this doesn't work. You need to enable the WOL in the bios. Anyone found a way?
