I've already posted on the correct way to do it here. I've only used it in a LAN environment, not WAN. It is complicated, there is good and bad info in here, and yet I've gotten it to work in every HP workstation or business class desktop I've tried. The SolarWinds Wake-on-LAN tool in Engineers Toolset can quickly generate a WOL magic packet for computers on your network. You need to turn off some of the defaults to force the box to accept the energy inefficiencies so that WOL can work.Īnd, of course, the later workstations/business class boxes have some European energy settings thrown in that you need to take into account. Wake on LAN is inherently energy inefficient. The basic idea: HP factory default settings are optimized for functionality and energy efficiency. After you get it working then you can carefully add back in the fine tuning to drop boot times, etc. And, the differences between HP workstations and HP business class computers needs to be taken into account.įactory defaults is a good point to start from but you specifically need to change from those in the process. Then, the HP workstations changed over time, both in hardware and BIOS software. There are BIOS things you have to get right and also OS things.
