Hi,

Is it possible to populate the MAC Address fields of clients from an AD Attribute ?

  • Why would you need to when the MAC address is already captured in the NICs of an asset?

  • In order to WOL a never scanned offline computer

  • PDQ Inventory gets the MAC address when the Network Adapters scanner, which is part of the Standard Scan Profile, runs successfully on a target.

    You could try this script I wrote a while ago, it doesn't import the MAC addresses into PDQ but if you can output a CSV file containing the computer names and MAC addresses then my script should be able to wake those computers:
