That takes me to some decent info. There is a link on that site that
doesn't
work however, http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/ , and I couldn't seem to
find anything on AMD's site as someone else indicated.

However, I further researched the magic packet technology and found
several
programs out there, none of which I have tried up to this point, but all
of
which would require me to know the MAC address of the adapter(s) which I
wanted to wake up. That would be an unrealistic thing for me to know of
all
couple hundred systems I had. I was hoping a simple attempt to connect to
the remote system from my computer using its netbios name would awaken it.
If it won't it might be easier for me to disable the option of "only allow
management stations to bring this computer out of standby". Or I just
might
do without using this.

Anyone else any ideas?

Thanks.

Long story short, I want to be able to use remote desktop to access
systems whenever I want. This is not always possible because they
often enter standby state. Every single computer is pre-configured
to allow remote desktop and the adapter is set to wake the
computer, but they are all also set to "Only allow management
stations to bring this computer out of standby."

As a result of this setting I cannot wake any computer. What do I
need to do to make myself a management station or whatever? I'm
belong to like every possible admin group in the active directory.
I just can't figure it out and I suppose there is some small thing
that would fix it.

I'm sure you'd say, well just uncheck that box and it'd work. Well
yes it would, but that would be very time consuming to do to every
machine. It should somehow work being checked I'm sure, but I
cannot figure it out.

A search brought up this.
Your answer is *magic packets*..
