Scripting ITA
Is there a way to script ITA so it issues WOLs to a bunch of computers at a certain them...wait x amount of time...then shutdown the computers?
Just kind of curious. I would love to turn on my school districts computers at night and have them do updates then shutdown...would make my life much more simple.

DI script is detailed in the user guide and it can perform functions like that.

Ahhh yes, the documentation....forgot to look there. Well after a quick read through, what I would like to do might be a little hard. I could use the AutoOn feature and have all the machines turn on, and I can use @filename.dat to list the IPs of the machines, but they are all DHCP so they may change. I guess I could just put the entire subnet in there. But then comes the question of having the machines login and do windows updates. Then is just connect again and shutdown.
If anyone has tried something close to this I would appreciate some advice.

Deploy Microsoft's software update services. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sus/default.mspx
You can configure the clients with registry or gpo if you are running Active Directory. You can force the install of updates by time.

Sorry I have a question to add to this:
Does the DI scripting tool work with PE 2650 servers or is it just a worksation tool? I thought i read somewhere it does not work with servers. is that correct?

This is correct you can only manage client systems

I am using ITA 6.4.4 and have OMCI v. 7 installed on all clients (via Active Directory GPO).
I've changed to the directory where discript.exe is located and I've run
discript.exe wakeup.sc
where wakeup.sc is a list of:
wakeup 10.190.10.47;
wakeup 10.190.10.38;
etc.
This is per ITA documentation (command line operation; discript command definitions), but it doesn't work. (The IPs are valid).
Looking at the scripting examples provided in the documentation, and looking at the errors I get, it appears that discript.exe works with DMI clients, but NOT with clients that are CIM only.
OMCI v. 7 is CIM only.
Does anyone know of a way to script a group of OMCI v. 7 (CIM only) clients to Wake On LAN using ITA?
