Scheduled deployment Wake on Lan and Shutdown after deployment
Hi,
I would like to make a scheduled deployment of a package. It must be installed beyond working hours. so is it possible to wake up (boot) the computers and automaticly shutdown when deployment is complete.
So i can setup a scheduled deployment that runs at night for example.
Or is this feature allready there but i couldn't find it?
Thanks

You can turn on Wake-on-LAN in Preferences -> Deployments -> Offline Policy. This will attempt to wake a computer whenever you send a deployment.
There isn't a way to built-in way to shutdown a computer after the deployment, but you can run the shutdown.exe command at the end of the package by adding a Command Step. For example: shutdown /f /s
Arjan,
we using following powershell script for it. this script is checking if somebody is logged on or not. if not the script is doing a shutdown.
you need a all files (.exe & .ps1) below for running this script in a folder. try it on a test machine before you use it on productive machines.
Hi,
Do I need to change the ps1 script?
I'm going to test both.
Thanks.
Arjan,
have you test it ? If please let me know if this works for you.
