System Center 2012 - Configuring Wake On LAN, Power Management, and Remote Control (MOC10747.S14)

Description

Managing client computers remotely is an integral part of managing a network efficiently and is a key feature in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager. Typically, it is not feasible, logistically or financially, to travel to a client workstation to perform minor repairs or assist with software issues. Additionally, you may not always want to have computers running before you deploy software applications or updates. To help reduce energy costs and environmental impact, you may want to monitor and implement corporate-wide power management policies that you can use to control the state of client computers. There also may be situations in which you need to reconfigure BIOS settings on remote computers, or turn on or off remote computers. System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager supports various types of remote-management tasks by using Wake On LAN, power-management policies, Remote Control, and out of band management features.
