sliver sliver Getting the hang of it Registered: 2002-09-05 Posts: 94	Anyone know how to wake up a remote pc from it's screen saver session using kix or a utility. (BTW- I tried using send keys via kix (with psexec) and that didn't work. It appears you need the users name and password to make any remote commands believe it is the logged in user that is waking it up. I know there has to be something out there but I can't seem to find it. Thank in advance, Edited by sliver (2004-05-13 12:05 AM)

Remote wakeup typically refers to powering on the unit when it is off. Why do you need to undo or comeback from the screen saver mode, what are you trying to do?

SMS will not install the specified app if the "only when user is logged on" option is set (and we need this for certain installations) and a screen saver is present (this is an sms bug). I know there is a SP5 sms fix for this but it looks like our company has decided to take a pass on this one. My thinking was if I can run a prejob that just wakes the pc everytime and then runs the app...I'm good to go.

This is a good featue, BUT, the unwanted siedeffect is that you can't shut down the computer from external(administrative) scripts. Also you cannot do a wakeonlon, because the computer is allready 'awake'. I would also be intersred if someone has a solution for this -Erik

I'll give that a try when I get back to work maybe just to double check. This utility works rather well for such tasks. POWEROFF Download PowerOff 3.0.1.3

I didn't read anything about this 3 months old thread in your last posts... Why didn't you continue posting to the "old" thread anyway? And.. Which unanswered question do you mean?? The best option is Lonkero's suggestion to kill the screensaver... Did you tested it?? _________________________ Co
