Challenge #2: Ensuring that sleep settings don’t interfere with software updates
•Configure computers to apply software updates as soon as computers become “available” on the network
•Use Windows Task Scheduler to wake up sleeping computers for updates
•Use Wake-on-LAN to wake up sleeping computers to perform on-demand updates
•Use vPro to wake up sleeping computers
oIntegrates with software update mechanism to switch only required computers on
•
Future: NICs will have "proxying" capabilities that will maintain network presence, facilitating wake-ups

Mention CSCI WG: PM has come a long ways from a few years ago with platform, component and SW improvements.  CSCI has a technical WG further addressing to improve system reliability and latency.
Option 1 cons: Can cause slow downs and reboots first thing in the morning or during working hours
Option 2 cons: Requires either waking ALL computers or complex Scheduler/Update configurations
Option 3 cons: Requires specific network ports to be opened
Option 4 pros: Integrates with software update mechanism to switch only required computers on; cons: not free; requires proprietary HW
