Management
Situation
Set a
Wake-on-LAN (WOL) server policy to send WOL packets immediately and
repeat periodically. Restart Wakeup on LAN service on the
server with StartWOL.NCF. The service does not begin sending
WOL packets until eDirectory is read.
This can
cause confusion since other server policies are read at server
startup.
Resolution
The
Wake-on-LAN service does not read associated policies on
startup. It reads its policies when its lookup schedule
is activated. Check the properties of the WOL service in
ConsoleOne and set the lookup schedule
appropriately.
Use the
Wake-on-LAN property page to configure the schedule for the
Wake-on-LAN service to lookup and read the Wake-on-LAN policy from
eDirectory.
