Post Installation Tasks

Following installation of the Ivanti Wake on LAN module server component and the defining wakepoints, you must perform select tasks before you can use Ivanti Wake on LAN features.

• Endpoints to be woken must have an agent installed, must successfully register with the Ivanti Endpoint Security server, and must successfully complete a Discover Applicable Updates (DAU) task. IP address and MAC address information collected during the DAU task are required by Ivanti Wake on LAN.

• Endpoints to be woken must have functional Ivanti Endpoint Security Server-to-Agent communication.

• Endpoints to be woken must have been booted at least once. Endpoints that have never been powered on cannot be woken using Ivanti Wake on LAN.

• Endpoints to be woken must currently be in a sleeping or hibernating state. Many NIC cards do not support waking endpoints from an off state for security reasons.

• Endpoints to be woken must have power still connected to the NIC card. Endpoints cannot be woken without a powered NIC card.

Important: Though the server components of Ivanti Wake on LAN can run on a virtual server, the endpoints to be woken must be physical endpoints. Virtual machines do not respond to Ivanti Wake on LAN requests.
