AWIECO have been in touch to let us know that they have released their WakeOnLAN add-in for Windows Home Server 2011 and Small Business Server 2011 Essentials.
Here is what AWIECO say:
The AWIECO WakeOnLAN add-in for Windows Home Server 2011 and Small Business Server 2011 Essentials is a free and useful add-in, which has the ability to remotely turn on a computer. It enables the Server to start up every computer attached to your network. You can also power off a computer out of the Launchpad. The gadget on the WHS or SBS web-interface shows a list of all available and connected computers within your network and provides the possibility to start them up from any location inside your network or via internet, by just one mouse click. You can add further computers to your network manually by entering the MAC address or even delete them. The add-in automatically recognises if a computer is already turned on or if it is booting up.
When the remote network adapter receives a “Magic Packet” created for its unique MAC address, the network adapter alerts the computer to power on, which is comparable with the manual pressing of the power button. When the computer is shut down, its network adapter is still receiving power, and waiting to receive a “Magic Packet“ within the network. A requirement for this function is the wake on LAN support of your network adapter and the enabled Wake On LAN option in the computer’s BIOS settings.
