Situation

When a server is assigned to do a Wake-On-Lan (WOL) task, the server may experience high utilization or get bogged down when doing other operations.

Resolution

This is fixed in version 10.3 - see KB 7005455 "ZENworks Configuration Management SP3 (10.3) - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

Additional Information

The problem was that the WOL task created multiple items in the zenQueue.
