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.
