Wake on LAN in SCCM

-
Hi guys,

Today i going to talk about SCCM Wake ON LAN Feature.

Few concerns are What, Why & How ?   Wake ON LAN

What: - This is the feature of SCCM by which SCCM sends wake up transmission packets to clients for a particular Deployment or a Task Sequence to run

Why: - Configure scheduled Configuration Manager  activities to take place outside business hours using the Wake On LAN feature, which has the following benefits:
  • Helps to achieve a higher success rate for Configuration Manager activities.
  • Reduces the associated network traffic during business hours.
  • Helps to conserve power by not requiring computers to be left on outside business hours.

Enabling Wake On LAN in Configuration Manager 2007 allows the primary site server to send wake-up packets for the following Configuration Manager activities:
  • Software update deployments
  • Software distribution advertisements
  • Task sequence advertisement

Configuration Manager Dependencies


DependencyMore Information
Hardware inventory must be enabled, and completed an inventory schedule.
The Configuration Manager site must be a primary site.
You can configure child primary sites for Wake On LAN, but not secondary sites. Clients in secondary sites will be sent wake-up packets from their assigned primary site.
Client computers must be running the Configuration Manager 2007 client.
Clients running Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 do not support Wake On LAN.

How: -to Enable or Disable ,Configure


To enable or disable Wake on LAN for a site:

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database / Site Management.
  2. Right-click <site code> -<site name> and then click Properties.
  3. On the Wake On LAN tab in the site properties dialog box, select the option Enable Wake On LAN for this site.
  4. Click OK.


    To configure Wake On LAN for Unicast or subnet-directed                                                                                                               broadcast transmission:


    1. In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to System CenterConfiguration Manager / Site Database / Site Management.
    2. Right-click <site code> – <site name>, and then click Properties.
    3. On the Wake On LAN tab, either select the option Unicast if you want wake-up packets to be sent using unicast transmission, or select the option Subnet-directed broadcasts if you want wake-up packets to be sent using subnet-directed broadcast transmission.

Many times we all have faced WDS issues and errors. Following are Some of Issues and their solutions Error 10048 Description: The Windows Deployment Services Server service terminated with service-specific error 10048 This issue occurs if the following conditions are true: ·          The DHCP server and the WDS server are installed on the same computer. ·          The  Do not listen on port 67  option is  NOT  enabled in the DHCP tab. Cause When the DHCP server and the WDS server are installed on the same computer, the WDS Service tries to use the port 67. However, the DHCP server already uses this port. Solution: Method 1 At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: wdsutil /set-Server /UseDhcpPorts:No Method 2 1.       Click  Start , click

Hyper-V Questions and answers ! VIRTUAL MACHINE TECHNOLOGY Q.   What is virtual machine technology? A.    Virtual machine technology applies to both server and client hardware. Virtual machine technology enables multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single machine. In particular, Hyper-V, a key feature of Windows Server 2008 R2, enables one or more operating systems to run simultaneously on the same physical system. Today, many operating  systems are supported by Virtual PC 2007, Virtual Server 2005, and Hyper-V. Q.   What is virtual machine technology used for? A.    Virtual machine technology serves a variety of purposes. It enables hardware consolidation, because multiple operating systems can run on one computer. Key applications for virtual machine technology include cross-platform integration as well as the following: Server consolidation. If several servers run applications that consume only a fraction of the           avail

DHCP, WDS, PXE Boot and Common Issues

Hi Guys, Again i am back with very common information about DHCP,WDS & PXE and issues troubleshooting and their solutions. DHCP, WDS, and PXE are the main and needed components which plays very important role in SCCM OSD. They function and provide a very cool and automatize the OS installations (Network based). So why is the Need? DHCP : DHCP offers automatic ip address assigning functionality to machines at both booting state and online state. DHCP Scope options are one main key component. WDS : WDS offers the PXE functionality (Not SCCM) for network based OS installation (boots machine in to windows installation mode from network) So when we install the SCCM PXE service Point on WDS Server, It just overrides the settings of WDS PXE. Now Common PXE Boot Issues: ·         PXE-E53: No boot filename received   ·         PXE-T01: File not found ·         PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File not Found   ·         PXE-E55 Proxy DHCP Service did no
