Wake On LAN across multiple subnets
I am in a large infastrucutre that does not allow broadcasting magic packets across subnets. I am looking for a way to broadcase WOL across about 20 subnets across our campus. The idea i have is to have one central control applicaion installed on a server that manages 20 downstream boxes with a small WOL utility installed on them. I would set a schedule in the management console and it would send a command to all 20 downstream boxes telling them to wake up all nodes. Is there somthing out there like this?
I have found several applicaions that you can install, set up a job and let it run. However central administration would be great.

i eneded up using 1E's Nightwatchman product that works with SCCM to enabled WOL across subnets.

Those were both good ideas. However our infastrucuture team would not allow us to put a server on all the VLANs. We looked at autoshutdown manager and nightwatchman and elected to go with nightwatchman.
its an app to centralize computer power management (automatic shutdown at night, weekends, scheduled wake on lan / wake on lan over internet startup of computes. grouping into different rule setings and wake on lan across subnets. all centrally managed and can be rolled out with GPO in an hour or so...
I believe they have a special for schools that is quite affordable..
