MMS2008 - Wednesday 3
Session: Ask the Experts; and interesting solution by Rod K to a question; the question was sending out a wakeup, then a task (like anti-virus scan), then shutdown; but only shutdown those computers that had to be woken up. Other than the obvious (1E / sccmexpert or other 3rd party tools to manage that), he mentioned scripting finding win32_computersystem.wakeuptype, and if value is 5, shutdown the computer after the virus scan is complete. (because 5 is wakeonlan, and 6 is the power button)
