The following instructions outline how to use scmd.exe to turn on individual computers, as well as a list of computers. Ensure Wake-on-LAN is enabled in the BIOS of each device for remote power-on functionality.

Steps for Turning On Computers with SCMD.exe

1. Turning On a Single Computer:

   • Use the following command format to turn on one computer:

     scmd.exe -user username -password xxxxxxx -d unicon -switchon -to /OUname/EAC-Pool-01-004 -now

     • Replace the relevant data with your credentials, and specify the path for the computer within your device pool.

2. Turning On a List of Computers:

   • Use this command format to turn on multiple computers from a list:

     scmd.exe -user username -password xxxxxxx -d unicon -switchon -to "C:\2023_05_02_12_06_14__ungerade.txt" -list -now

     • Update the path to your list file (2023_05_02_12_06_14__ungerade.txt) as needed. You can save this file on your Desktop or any other location by adjusting the path in the command.

3. Find More Commands:

   • For additional commands related to device management, refer to the documentation available on Commands for device management .

Administrators may need to remotely power on multiple computers using the scmd.exe command-line tool.

• Wake-on-LAN must be enabled in BIOS for each device to allow remote power-on.
• At least one device must be already switched on in Scout for Wake-on-LAN to initiate and power on other devices in the network.

These steps enable efficient remote power management across multiple devices using scmd.exe.
