This latest build fixes a few issues when creating scheduled wake-up or shutdown jobs where the WoW console is being used by an operator in a different timezone to the core server. We have also added better handling of large numbers of target systems and timeout handlng for nn-response systms.Please upgrade to this latest

We've had a few reports that the WoL executable is not being launched when Wake-On-WAN is installed on some LANDesk 8.7 systems. We are investigating and hope to have a fix shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience.

We've had a few questions from people who are not keen to install .Net 3.5 on their LANDesk Core Server. The important thing to note about this is that .Net 3.5 still configures version 2.0 for the ASP.Net components so LANDesk just isn't affected and LANDesk cores work without issue.If LANDesk support tell you 3.5 isn't supported, remember this just means it has not gone through their official

We have had a few requests now for Oracle versions of our products. We will start with Wake-On-WAN for LANDesk as that has had the most requests. A version is in test at the moment and we will release pending positive feedback from those currently testing it.

Really pleased today. Since we started this venture I've wanted to give support to the LANDesk community by posting on http://community.landesk.com . Today I got the points needed to classify me as an 'Expert'. A little sad of me but it felt pretty nice.I'm going to keep being active and aim to get high up on that leaderboard.

Wow! Looks like we found something you all really like. Today we had our 100th download for Power State Notifier Lite for LANDesk. Wake On WAN for LANDesk isn't far behind either.I'm really glad so many people have seen the benefit from this tool and we continue to work to bring some even greater capabilities in the near future.Thanks for all the support and the great feedback.Mark Star - MarXtar

Following on from the previous post, we have now updated the download so that includes the LANDesk 8.7 support module. For those of you that tried the LANDesk 8.8 build, just download this using your original download link, uninstall your previous version and install this one.If you can't find it, just go to http://www.marxtar.com/products/WakeOnWAN/LANDesk-Wake-On-WAN.htm and re-register for the

At MarXtar we're working on the release of a number of exciting products but we are always open for new ideas. Why not tell us what new tools either to support your existing LANDesk system or to act as a standalone product would really make your life easier.Remember, we're looking for ideas that are feasible (no anti-grav sneakers) and for ideas that are likely to apply to others as well.

We have discovered an issue where our plug-in is not working with the LANDesk 8.7 console. We have realised that we missed the piece that we need to launch .Net2.0 from the .Net1.1 console.We are working on rebuilding so that the call will work properly and apologise for this. We'll update everyone that gave a valid email address once this has been done and uploaded as well as posting to this

I've had some emails over the last week or so asking if these LANDesk enhancements are really going to stay free. I wanted to say clearly that the free tools (and some others we are working on) will remain free. That's not to say we won't have some products that are chargeable in the near future though. Our aim is to give poweful utilities to help our fellow administrators but also to provide

I recently posted on a LANDesk community thread in answer to questions around power management and suggested that the user should take a look at Power State Notifier Lite as a way to get a clearer picture of their environment's power state. Shortly afterward, LANDesk themselves posted that the upcoming SP2 for 8.8 would include a new Power management module which I found very interesting so

When I first looked to buy LANDesk as an end user, I was told about the wonderful possibilities of Wake-On-LAN (WoL) by the salesperson. Strangely though, that salesperson didn't mention the barriers to WoL traversing subnets and being a relative IT newbie myself at the time I didn't realise. I was a little disappointed to learn that my right-click Wake Up option didn't do anything outside of the

MarXtar has added a free LANDesk plug-in to the MarXtar Universe. This plug-in gives real-time information about the Power Status of LANDesk managed devices.Now at a glance administrators can see which machines are on, off, or in a standby/hibernation state as well as whether the user is logged on/off or the system is locked.Free to all existing LANDesk customers, Power State Notifier Lite gives
