Issue a Wake-on-LAN request

Issue a Wake-on-LAN request

Wake-on-LAN enables you to power on devices remotely from the appliance. You can power on devices that are connected to your network, but have not booted in to the appliance and devices that have booted in to the appliance if the devices are equipped with a Wake-on-LAN-enabled network interface card (NIC) and BIOS.

You can power on a group of devices in a label or wake devices individually. See Create and apply labels.

1.
On the left navigation pane, select Devices > Device Inventory to power on devices that have booted in to the appliance or select Network Inventory to power on devices that have not booted in to the appliance.
2.
Select the devices to power on.
3.
Select Choose Action > Send Wake-on-LAN.
After devices are powered on, you can go to the left navigation pane, and click Deployments to create a boot action and run the deployment now or schedule the deployment to run later.

View device details from a network scan

View device details from a network scan

You can view whether the appliance was able to reach a device, if the device requested a network boot from the appliance, the TCP and UDP port status, and the drivers that the device requires against the available drivers.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Devices, then click Network Inventory to display the Network Scan Inventory page.
2.
Select the device to view the following details:

Option

Description

Ping Status

Shows whether the appliance was able to reach this device.

PXE Status

Indicates whether this device (identified by the MAC Address) has ever requested a network boot from the appliance.

TCP Port Status

Shows the state of TCP ports scanned during the last Network Scan that included this device.

An open status indicates that the appliance was able to open a connection to a network server running on the device.

UDP Port Status

Shows the state of the UDP ports scanned by the last Network Scan that included this device.

* 
NOTE: An open/filtered state indicates that the appliance did not receive a port closed message from the device and was unable to determine the status. Most firewall software does not send port closed messages from the device, so results might appear incorrect.

Driver Compatibility Report

Lists the drivers that the device requires against the available drivers for scripted installations.

Apply a KUID to the KACE Agent

Apply a KUID to the KACE Agent

Retaining the unique identifier (KUID) of target devices prevents numerous devices from checking in to the appliance with the same KUID number. You can use the built-in Apply KUID to KACE Agent post-installation task to retain the KUID, which identifies the KACE Agent installed on target devices. You can also modify the script for the built in Apply KUID to KACE Agent post-installation task.

On Windows systems, the appliance retrieves the KUID of a system, stores it temporarily, and then copies it to the workstation after the deployment.

For Mac systems, the appliance includes some scripts that can used to implement this process. For more information, see http://www.itninja.com/blog/view/maintain-kuid-of-a-macintosh-system-using-the-k200.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Library to expand the section, then click Post-installation Tasks to display the Post-installation Tasks page.
2.
Click Apply KUID to KACE Agent to display the Post-installation Task Detail page.
3.
In Name, enter a logical name to identify the task.
4.
Select a Runtime Environment. See About runtime environments.
5.
In File, click Replace to upload a different script.
The uploaded file can be a single file, or a ZIP archive containing multiple files. ZIP archives are uncompressed on the appliance before deployment starts.
6.
Next to Upload file, click Browse to select the appropriate file.
7.
Select the Reboot Required check box to reboot the appliance and run the next task in the sequence.
See Assign tasks to system deployment or Assign tasks to scripted installation deployment.
