PC's power on at the same time every day

[PaulWhite@pickens.k12]

I have about 6 class rooms throughout our school district that have a wol at 2pm every day. They are at different schools (boundaries groups) and in different collections within SCCM. If I track down the event id on any of the machines the wol is coming from Cofig manager. I have checked random computers in the reports of SCCM for pending wol messages and all the deployments to those machines for wol and I can't find the answer. If I were to take one machine that is doing this what would be the steps to track down where the wol is coming from. A check list if you will? Any help would be appreciated at this point. Thanks

I think this should get you started: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2014/01/28/a-complete-guide-to-wake-on-lan-for-configmgr-2007-and-configmgr-2012.aspx

You should also go to the BIOS and verify the option that turns on the computer, on certain hour of the day. I had that once... maybe they have something like that configured!

Are you sure that they are coming form WOL and not PowerManagement?

I bet Garth is correct. Those six machines are probably in a collection with power management settings. This sql query might help you track down what collection those machines have in common:

 

select

C.CollectionID,

C.Name,

C.Comment

from

dbo.v_Collection C

join dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership FCM on C.CollectionID = FCM.CollectionID

Where

FCM.Name = '<name>'

order by c.Name
