WOL Prerequisites
There are two ConfigMgr-specific and three external prerequisites to fully enable WOL capabilities in ConfigMgr.
Here are the ConfigMgr prerequisites:
• Enable hardware inventory.
• Install the ConfigMgr agent on destination systems.
The external prerequisites consist of
• Network interface cards must support WOL and the use of the magic packet.
• Enable WOL on NICs and in the BIOS of destination systems.
• If subnet-directed broadcasts (discussed in the next section) are used, configure the network infrastructure to forward subnet-directed broadcasts.
