Scheduled WOL for MDR with multiple network devices

Dear LANDesker,

 

In our organization we have many VLAN's (up to 200!). LANDesk 8.8 SP1 is in use.

 

First we had a problem with the PXE Representatives. We don't want to install many PXE Representatives in our network and solved this problem by installing a server with multiple network devices and a WinAgents TFTP Server. This TFTP server can listen to one device and supports firewalls. This configuration works nice in our network.

 

The problem now is:

 

We also want use this PXE Representative as a Multicast Domain Representative. This is only possible for the primary network device that's registered in the inventory as   "Bound Adapter: 0". Primarily we want to use this MDR with multiple network devices for scheduled WOL-tasks.

 

WOL.EXE does work on this server for a MAC-address in a random VLAN.

 

The question:

 

How can we fix this problem? Help!

 

 

Thanks in advance for your response,

Johan,

 

Take a look at our Wake-On-WAN for LANDesksolution. It's designed to perform Wake-On-LAN in a similar way to how targeted multicast does it. It will also identify the system to use for a subnet by reading the Multicast Representative and preferred Package Server lists. There's a good chance this will do just what you need.
