WHS wake on LAN how to?

[Perryg114]

I have a Windows Home Sever Machine and I have hidden it is a place hard to get to and I was wondering if there is a way to make it boot up remotely without having to physically hit a switch. I was hopeing the WHS control panel software would have such a feature.

check out he addon "Lights-Out" It may do what you want/need.

Lights-Out is great. And worth the money.

is there a way to get LO to make all the client PCs hibernate too?
I have the WHS hibernating from midnight to 5am, but I'd like the other PCs then to hibernate then also.

Configure the sleep/hibernate settings on each machine, IIRC. Somewhat time consuming but it works for me. When I pull a machine out of hibernation, it wakes up the WHS box.
