The Advanced screen
Advanced Settings control how WakeUp deals with specific timing or operational requirements. These parameters are typically left at their default values.
Options | NightWatchman Management Center | Configuration Manager | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Minimum advertisement reprocessing interval |  |  | The minimum time in seconds before the same advertisement is reprocessed default is 60 seconds). This timer is only relevant if short poll intervals are required. |
Minimum Re-wakeup Interval | | | Minimum time in seconds between wake ups for the same machine (default is 200 seconds). The minimum re-wakeup interval is designed to prevent a system from receiving multiple magic packets when it has already been woken up. |
Process Subcollections | | | Determines if sub-collections are included when processing advertisements (disabled by default). |
Auto Throttle | | | If enabled, WakeUp automatically increases the number of wake ups per polling cycle to ensure that all systems can be processed within one hour (enabled by default). |
Check Wakeup in Name | | | Determines whether wakeups are sent depending on specific text included in the Configuration Manager deployment name and/or comment (unchecked by default). When unchecked, wakeups are sent unless the text 'NoWakeUps' is used. When checked, wakeups are sent only when the text 'WakeUpsEnabled' is used. NoteIf checked, any Software Updates Assignment in Configuration Manager that you want to associate with WakeUp must have the text 'WakeUpsEnabled' in the name or comment. |
Check Policy Refresh in Name | | | Determines whether policy refreshes are sent depending on specific text included in the Configuration Manager deployment name and/or comment (unchecked by default). When unchecked, Policy Refreshes are sent unless the text 'NoPolicyRefresh' is used. When checked, Policy Refreshes are sent only when the text 'PolicyRefreshEnabled' is used. |
Allow NightWatchman auto shutdown after Wakeup | | | Enables interaction between WakeUp and NightWatchman. Computers woken by WakeUp are shut down providing there are no pending Configuration Manager jobs. Autoshutdown does not occur for manually requested wake ups, i.e. those from a right-click option from the Configuration Manager console, from the WMI interface or on the WakeUp command-line NoteIn NightWatchman, You can override the general auto shutdown option and prevent shutdown on a per Configuration Manager Advertisement basis by including the text 'NoAutoShutdown' in the advertisement name or comment. |
