>> Reliable client wake-up: Wake on LAN (WOL) and local wake timers

Machines can be awoken from sleep via a local timer, or remotely - even from the shutdown mode S5 - via Wake On LAN from the central Auto Shutdown Manager server. Auto Shutdown Manager supports so-called local- and directed broadcasts, as well WOL Proxies, thus making Wake on LAN highly reliable across different networks, VLANs, and even the Internet.

>> Wake office PCs from remote sites (for example from your home office)

Two Web based WOL Portals are available for free to support customers with a large number of office PCs and users.
Also, a free tool called Wake on WAN Client (WoW Client) allows remote workers to turn on their office PCs from remote locations, such as the home office or when at a customer’s site. 

>> Idle Shutdown Timer

The Idle Shutdown Timer can be made dependent on running applications or the utilization of background processes, as well as on almost any other system component such as network throughput, CPU, or HDD load, and even the sound level of the microphone if desired. This ensures maximum savings by avoiding unwanted shutdowns.

>> Scheduled and Remote Shutdown

A shutdown can be programmed for any time or at different times, such as shutting down daily at 11 pm or rebooting every Friday night at 2 am. A remote shutdown can be executed by the server or via an admin PC at any time.

>> Save Documents and Flexible Shutdowns

Not only can the shutdown mode be selected flexibly for different times– such as standby, hibernating, restarting or powering off depending on the day or time, it can also be set to save open documents automatically before the shutdown is executed.

>> Client/Server Mode

Auto Shutdown Manager can operate as a standalone installation or in a client-server mode. An Auto Shutdown Manager Server can manage tens of thousands of clients: It can manage their settings by groups, policies, WOL schedules, maintenance plans, statistics, and much more. This allows for the easy and reliable management of thousands of clients from a single central place.

>> Plugin for Microsoft MCM / SCCM 

The Plugin supports all shutdown commands, as well as WOL for individual PCs, or for collections directly from the MCM/SCCM® console.
