How to delegate / automate WOL schedules and client management without giving server console access?

A: Auto Shutdown Manager’s File Scanner

With Auto Shutdown Manager’s File Scanner, IT admins can delegate and automate routine tasks such as Wake-on-LAN schedules, client moves, and group management — without granting direct server-console access.

The File Scanner executes simple XML-based job files on the server. This means routine changes can be handled safely and consistently, even by helpdesk or junior staff, under your defined controls.
