Troubleshooting Wake-on-LAN

Troubleshooting Wake-on-LAN

Under certain conditions, a Wake-on-LAN request might fail.

Conditions that might cause Wake-on-LAN failures include:

•
The device does not have a Wake-on-LAN-capable network card or is not configured properly.
•
The appliance has incorrect information about the subnet to which the device is attached.
•
UDP traffic is not routed between subnets or is being filtered by a network device.
•
Broadcast traffic is not routed between subnets or is being filtered by a network device.
•
Traffic on port 7 is being filtered by a network device.

Exporting Managed Installations

Exporting Managed Installations

If you have multiple organizations or appliances, you can export Managed Installations and transfer them among organizations and appliances as needed.

See About importing and exporting resources.

Broadcasting alerts to managed devices

Broadcasting alerts to managed devices

Create alerts to be broadcast

You can send messages to users by broadcasting alerts, which are displayed as pop-up messages, on Agent-managed devices.

Displaying alerts is useful when you need to communicate urgent information, or notify users before running actions or scripts on their devices.

In addition, you can create email notifications that can be sent automatically when specified criteria are met. See Scheduling notifications.

* 
NOTE: Displaying a message on a managed device requires a connection between the Agent and the appliance. For information about Agent connections, see .
* 
NOTE: This type of alert is generated at the appliance, to be broadcast to Agent-managed devices. The other type of alert is the monitoring alert, which comes into the appliance from your server devices if you have enabled monitoring on them to perform basic performance monitoring. See Monitoring devices.

Create alerts to be broadcast

All Devices

Display the message on all devices whose KACE Agents are connected to the appliance.

Urgent

Display the message in the center of the screen, without allowing the user to move it, or to send it to the background. The alert must be addressed before any work can continue.

Devices

Display the message on specified devices. Use Ctrl-click or Command-click to select multiple devices.

Restrict to Labels

Display the message only on devices assigned to selected labels. click Manage Associated Labels to select device labels. Use Ctrl-click or Command-click to select multiple labels.

Expiration

Specify the length of time for the message to be valid. When target devices are connected to the appliance, the message is broadcast and is displayed until the user acknowledges the message by clicking OK.

* 
NOTE: If a device is not connected to the appliance, the alert message is sent to the Agent Command Queue, and it remains there until the device connects to the appliance. When the target device connects, the message appears regardless of whether the Expiration time has elapsed.
3.
In the Schedule tab, specify the schedule settings:

Option

Description

None

Run in combination with an event rather than on a specific date or at a specific time.

Every

Run every number of set hours.

Run daily at a specified time, or run on a designated day of the week at a specified time.

Run on the nth of every month/specific month at HH:MM

Run on the same day every month, or a specific month, at the specified time.

Run on the nth weekday of every month/specific month at HH:MM

Run on the specific weekday of every month, or a specific month, at the specified time.

Custom

Run according to a custom schedule.

Use standard 5-field cron format (extended cron format is not supported):

* * * * *
| | | | +────────day of week (0-6)(Sun=0)
| | | +────────month (1-12)
| | +────────day of month (1-31)
| +────────hour (0-23)
+────────minute (0-59)

Use the following when specifying values:

•
Spaces ( ): Separate each field with a space.
•
Asterisks (*): Include the entire range of values in a field with an asterisk. For example, an asterisk in the hour field indicates every hour.
•
Commas (,): Separate multiple values in a field with a comma. For example, 0,6 in the day of the week field indicates Sunday and Saturday.
