Does SolarWinds have any features for Wake-on-LAN (WOL) for multiple computers at once?

phuoc.dinh

My client has the following problem:

Currently, the SolarWinds WoL software is experiencing issues with the Wake-on-LAN (WoL) feature. Specifically, the current process requires scanning the IP/MAC addresses of machines, then copying and pasting them into the interface to wake up each machine individually. Each machine takes at least 1 minute to start up, so waking up 400 machines takes up to 7 hours (from 8 AM to 3 PM), while normally this could be done in 15 minutes with 2-3 people.

Does the software actually work this way, or are there other options that allow you to wake up all the machines at once?

    Depends on what tool you are talking about here. If the tool from "Engineers toolset", they you have to enter IP and mac to wake the device. The tools is not meant for mass management. Other tools like "Patch manager" has wake on lan functionality, for waking the devices up before patching. There it's more designed for many devices.
