Waking Up a Computer

Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) can wake up computers that have gone to sleep or been put to sleep with ARD. To wake a computer using ARD, the computer's networking hardware must support waking via network packet (wakeonlan), and the computer must have "Wake For Administrative Access" enabled in the Wake Options of Energy Saver preferences.

You cannot wake up computers connected to the network via AirPort or computers not located on your local subnet.

1. Select a computer list.
2. Select one or more computers in the Remote Desktop window.
3. Choose Manage > Wake.
4. Click Wake.
