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.
