    Hi guys,

    Does anyone know of a way to construct a query or report in Config Manager to show all computers that have wake on lan enabled on the network adapter?  I am not aware of any built in sccm attributes that will show this in queries?

    I need to determine those PC's that still do not have this setting enabled.  It has been enabled within the BIOS of all computers and we have a script that enables the network cards for wake on lan.  We just need a query to pull in the results.

    Many thanks

    Pamela.

    If those boxes are Dell, AND they have Dell's OMCI installed, THEN you could implement this custom mof edit:

    to pull in WOL settings for Dell business-class computers.

    Unfortunately, the WOL settings aren't in "default" WMI settings.  So they have to be gathered via individual vendor-related tools, if they offer them, like Dell does.  I think IBM/Lenovo and HP might offer ways to pull that information out, but I don't have any IBM/Lenovo/HP in my lab to confirm that, or to create custom mof edits to offer to the ConfigMgr community without someone to run tests in *their* lab to confirm the custom mof edit is useful.
