Although the target system power state is the same between hybrid shutdown and hibernates (S4), Windows will only explicitly disable WOL when it's a hybrid shutdown transition, and not during a hibernate transition. So WOL is supported only from sleep (S3), or when the user explicitly requests to enter hibernate (S4) state in Windows 10. This behavior removes the possibility of invalid wake-ups when an explicit shutdown is requested. Network adapters are explicitly not armed for WOL in these cases, because users expect zero power consumption and battery drain in the shutdown state. I commented on the blog post and asked the author to describe the logic behind the script because I was curious about it. It sends wake-on-LAN signals to the MAC address of your choice without using external programs. In this scenario, WOL from S4 or S5 is unsupported. Viewed 7k times 2 I found this PowerShell code on a blog a couple months ago. In Windows 10, the default shutdown behavior puts the system into the hybrid shutdown (also known as Fast Startup) state (S4). So waking from S5 is possible on some systems if enough residual power is supplied to the network adapter, even though the system is in the S5 state and devices are in D3. However, some network adapters can be left armed for waking if enough residual power is available. WOL from S5 isn't officially supported in Windows 7. And all devices are put into the lowest power state (D3). In Windows 7, the default shutdown operation puts the system into the classic shutdown state (S5). The default behavior in response to WOL events has changed from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Typically, such an event is a specially constructed Ethernet packet. The Wake on LAN (WOL) feature wakes a computer from a low-power state when a network adapter detects a WOL event.

Does anyone know a way to send a directed magic packet using powershell ie. However, the clients are on a different subnet.

Param ( $MacString =$( Throw 'Mac address is required')).# Send Wake-on-Lan Magic Packet to specified Mac address.It would be possible to use DNS and the ARP Cache to resolve MAC addresses but the ARP cache will only be populated with a valid entry for any given target adapter for a relative short period of time after the last use of the address (10 minutes or less depending on usage) ARP cannot be used to dynamically resolve the address of a suspended adapter. This script has a table of saved MAC addresses to allow aliases to be specified on the command line (the real addresses have been obfuscated here) and uses a regex to validate the resulting MAC address string. Construction of this packet in PowerShell is a breeze thanks to the array semantics in the language (“$Packet = ](,0xFF*6)+($Mac*16)” – neat). This packet is sent via UDP to the LAN Broadcast address (255.255.255.255) on arbitrary Port 4000 – although the layer 3 baggage is actually largely irrelevant. Wake on Lan uses a “Magic Packet” that consists of six bytes of 0xFF (the physical layer broadcast address), followed by 16 copies of the 6-byte (48-bit) MAC address (see ). I use this a lot – especially these days with spiralling electricity costs – to wake suspended machines and servers. Here’s my take on the theme in PowerShell (naturally:-) There are a bunch of these to be found on the Web (see the additional notes on Origins below) although sadly some of them are either incorrect or of very dubious style.
