You can use the Command Center to explicitly wake up and push jobs to managed computers that are compatible with the Intel Wired for Management (WfM) standard and its Remote Wake-Up (RWU) feature.
When a software job is assigned to the managed computer, and the computer is turned off and not registered with the Configuration Server as an active machine, the Configuration Server automatically broadcasts a request to all known Wakeup Proxy Servers to wake up the computer. No separate action from the Command Center is required.
Note: The Command Center does not check to see if any managed computer is WfM-compatible. When Symantec LiveState Delivery sends a wake-up call to a computer that is not WfM-compatible, the call is ignored.
An implicit wake-up call immediately wakes up the computer; the resulting behavior of the computer depends on the following factors:
If the computer is a "Push Only" computer (the Poll Interval parameter of the Agent for Windows Setting package is set to None) the computer immediately polls for the assigned jobs and the agent immediately executes the jobs.
If the computer's Agent for Windows has a defined Poll Interval parameter and the Boot Priority is set to 0 the computer immediately polls for the assigned jobs and the agent immediately executes the jobs.
If the computer's Agent for Windows has a defined Poll Interval parameter and the Boot Priority is set to 1 or greater, the computer repeatedly polls at the specified Poll Interval. The agent executes the assigned jobs at the first polling interval that falls within the Server Window specified.
