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!

WAKE ON LAN script/batch help

Asked by RICuser in Network Management, Windows Networking, Windows Batch Scripting

Tags: wake, lan, script

I need to run a script/ batch file to wake up (WOL) several hundred PCs ( DELL gx150, gx 260, gx 270 gx 620 - mostly Windows XP) in the middle of the night.
First -  the script needs to enable WOL feature on the mobo - this part has been solved - there is a nice tool from DELL to do this - and it works- with some limitations - (gx 270 and gx 150 need BIOS upgrade).
Second part -  is to send the wake up frame , packet , magic packet etc. (whatever they call it) from within the batch file to all the PCs and wake them up .
I have done some research over the net and there are many stand alone WOL applications that can wake a single PC by having the PCs MAC address and/or IP address. I need a script/ tool for many PCs at a time that can start WITHIN the batch file after the Enable-- WOL- in- BIOS part is completed.

Since I am not a script guru please, be more specific with your directions.

Thanks
