The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Enable wake on LAN remotely

Asked by dkuhlman in Networking Hardware, General Computer Systems

Tags: Dell, network, WOL, Wake on LAN

Hello,

I manage a network of about 100 computers. It drives me insane when people don't leave their computers turned on and I have to walk halfway across the building to do any maintenance... And then the door is locked!

I have Wake On LAN turned on for most of the PC's, but we're constantly getting new one's, replacing main boards, replacing mb batteries (which causes them to lose settings etc.)

My question is: Is there a way to REMOTELY enable Wake On LAN? All of the PC's are Dell OptiPlex's of one variety or another. GX280's, 745's etc.

I suppose I do need the excercise, but it would be so much easier if people would just leave them on - or if WOL was ALWAYS enabled. Thanks.
