PENDING Power Off/Wakeup Machines

[Ashish Kumar]

Hey guys, I would appreciate any help as haven't found any clear solution. I am looking to power off all the desktop machines say 7' o clock in the eve and then wake them up 6 in the morning via SCCM? Can this be done? Thanks.

have you looked at the power management stuff?

 

[Ashish Kumar]

Yes, I did. But i am little bit confused as to if machines shutdowns or just hibernates


Here I clicked on Non-peak plan:

What does it matter? Did you test it out on a few computers? Does it do what you want?

I remember I had the same task assigned to me around 5 years ago. Powering off the machines is very simple but to power on the machines remotely is not so easy task. I remember using Intel vPro technology with Intel Active Management Technology which allows to power remote client computers on or off easily.
