Enable Wakeup
Enable Wakeup involves enabling the Wake-on-LAN Medic Utility to wake computers according to a defined schedule and send wake-up requests to Last Man Standing computers. It utilizes directed broadcasts without the need for Wake-on-LAN forwarders and supports versions 1.5.30 or later of BESWolMedic.exe. Ensure correct setup of RESTAPI for proper functionality, supported by BigFix server version 9.0 and above, and be aware of possible network security warnings from the BigFix Server firewall when running the utility.
Enable Wakeup includes a task for enabling the Wake-on-LAN Medic Utility. This utility is used to wake computers based on the schedule defined in the Schedule Wake-on-LAN wizard. It also sends a wake-up request to any Last Man Standing computers that are shut down.
As well as the BigFix Wake-on-LAN technology, BESWolMedic.exe with versions 1.5.30 or later use a directed broadcast that does not need Wake-on-LAN forwarders and Last Man standing computers.
Your BigFix Server firewall might prompt a network security warning when the utility is run for the first time. No directed broadcast is issued if the permission to access the network is not approved at your BigFix server. The existing BigFix Wake-on-LAN technology will continue to work.
