Is there any way to have a Windows 7 machine come out of sleep automatically when I try and connect to it with Remote Desktop?
The power saving option of the machine I want to connect to (enforced by group policy I believe) is to sleep after 30 minutes, which means I have to either physically walk over to press a key, or fire up a separate Wake-on-LAN tool to get it out of sleep mode.
I would be nice if the Remote Desktop Connection client sent the Wake-on-LAN packet automatically - is this possible?

@DalinSeivewright Yes they do-my newest dev machine does this automatically now :) – John Sibly – 2014-02-03T11:26:18.893
