Enable or Disable Virtual WOL for Computers or Groups

Virtual WOL is enabled by default on all the virtual machines. When a virtualization server hosts numerous VMs, but lacks the resources to run them at the same time, you can disable virtual WOL on its VMs. You can enable it back when you want to power up computers remotely.

Follow these steps:

1. Right-click the computer or group and select Power up, Disable.

   The virtual WOL is disabled on the computer. The computer or group is added to the "Do not wake" group.

2. Right-click the computer or group and verify that the Power up, Power up is dimmed.

   This action verifies that the virtual WOL is disabled.
