Hey guys, We have been working on implementing wake on lan to use the scheduled deployments and get our patch rates up. Now when the primary site server tries to send out a package we get the following error: WOLCManager encountered an error while sending packets (0x80072743) I am able to wake up the target system with wolcmd.exe without any issues, I can also wake it up via the Management console with the "Client Notifications" "Wake up" action. We are running Current Branch 2006 without hotfix. Has anyone had anything similar? Thanks

    Hi,

    0x80072743 = A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network.

    WolMgr.log

    Please try to run a full hardware inventory scan.
