Re: Script for Remote Wake on Lan

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Just do:

NewMac = replace(OldMac, "-", "")

That will remove the dashes.

Also, instead of using a command-line utility to do Wake On LAN, consider using this free, scriptable component I found a while ago:

Hope this helps.

We use a product for managed services called Kaseya and I can run custom scripts for almost any task I need, well if I were better at scripting I could :-). My situation is I need to be able to run a script that will execute the wol.exe /m:MacAddress. The script would be executed from a server inside the lan. The mac address is stored in kaseya which i can grab using a variable #vMachine.MacAddr#. Unfortunately the way it is formatted "00-00-00-00-00" means i need to strip out the "-" before executing the script. I will need to replace the variable with the actual mac address before execution. I hope someone can help me or lead me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for your help.
