Compare the Portals
To support diverse operational needs, Auto Shutdown Manager offers two distinct, free Wake-on-LAN (WOL) portals. Both are hosted on your own intranet and are powered by the Auto Shutdown Manager Server to wake computers from sleep modes (standby/hibernate) or a full shutdown.
| Feature | Advanced WOL Portal | Basic WOL Portal |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | Active Directory Users | None (Optional Password) |
| Security | Admin assigns specific PCs to users | Blocklists via FQDN or REGEX |
| Database Backend | Microsoft SQL Server (Express or higher) | None |
| Ideal Use Case | Secure, multi-user enterprise environments | Simple, non-critical intranet use |
Advanced WOL Portal
For secure, enterprise-grade remote access. This portal requires users to authenticate with their Active Directory credentials. Administrators have granular control, assigning specific computers to each user, ensuring only authorized personnel can wake machines.
