NIC Power Management

Hi All,

I tried the script over at http://www.itninja.com/question/turn-off-network-card-sleep-settings with no luck.

I found this script

'CTRLWOL.vbs
'version 1.04

'This script can be used to disable or enable power management options
'of all Ethernet devices listed in strAdap.

'Note: Option A: "Only allow management stations to bring the computer out of standby."
'      Option B: "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby."

'When you need to run this on a system with new Ethernet Device, just update strAdap with the Ethernet device name.

The read me says that I can adjust the type of NIC in there and even though it says that model of NIC I am using is there it will not work.

What am I missing here?  Script and readme found here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-70044

  • Why do you not use group policy? I guess you use Windows 7? - dedenker 9 years ago
  • Netpar,

    Why not use the Power Management Configuration Policy Script in the K1000?

    • Hi Ron,

      We are on V6.0 and our fleet is Win7. Are you saying that I can use Kace power management script to wake computers from sleep with a WOL Packet from K1000? - Netpar 9 years ago
  • Netpar,

    There are a few possible issues here:

    1. Enabling WOL support in the BIOS of your machines. If they are Dell machines then you can likely use Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK) to do this. We have a KKE Recording on that topic (it is called Dell Tools).

    2. Enabling WOL support in the NIC driver settings. This can likely be scripted via a Registry script in the K1000 Scripting module.

    3. Customizing Power Management settings to, for instance, not require a password on wakeup. This can be done using the Power Management Configuration Policy in the K1000 Scripting module. (We have many KKEs on Scripting.)

    4. Sending the Wake-Up Packet. Assuming that your environment supports it, this can be done through the K1000 Distribution module.

  • Hi Ron,

    The scenario we have is that we need to be able to wake computer from sleep. CCTK package deployment works well for us from a powered off state but not when they are asleep.

    If I can get a script working I can create a MI and run said script. The issue I have is that I can not get a script to work. - Netpar 9 years ago

one of your tags is systems deployment.  You can deploy to one system of that model of computer and then edit the registry and find out what device number is assigned to the nic, this would be a constant for all machines with the same hardware configuration. 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}\DeviceNumber

Then you can create a post sysprep registry merge to set the key correct under that device.
