automation manager => Wake-on-lan #1839

Open Abygail007 opened 2 months ago

Hello !

Is your feature request related to an issue? Please describe. I would like to master my computer park for updating Windows and software updates. I use powershell commands for this. The problem is that I often have computers turn off when start my automation. ARF!

Describe the solution you want Would it be possible in the automation manager to add the ability to program wake on lan? I think this will be done quite simply because wake-on lan is present and there is an automation manager.

Describe the alternatives you considered For the moment I use .json commands which send requests to the "api" but the problem is that at the slightest computer deletion etc. I have to completely remodify my .json It would be better to be able to integrate it into one or more groups.

Additional context For example: On Sunday: a wake on lan at 10am. Powershell for full antivirus scan at 10:15 a.m. Powershell for windows update at 11am Powershell for software update at 11:45 a.m. Powershell to shut down.

why not running a script sitewide that will make all the devices send the magic packet ? as long as one device is on it should be working. it seems more "controled" to me than relying on the trmm api for this https://www.pdq.com/blog/wake-on-lan-wol-magic-packet-powershell/

In my infrastructure, magic packets do not work. I have got a many different Vlans this causes problems. And internally "vlan", does not work well.

While I do not claim to understand how trmm does a wakeonlan my instinct would tell me that it is itself relying on a function of mesh that already does that and that function just sends magic packets left right and centre trough the agents, you will have the same issue then.

With the "trmm" it works really well without any problem. And then it would be simpler for management if it were natively integrated into the automation management 😄.
