SCCM Query

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:54:06 Z

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:

http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/skissinger/archive/2008/09/27/dell-omci-smbiossettings-hardware-inventory-extension.aspx

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.
