Hi,

Does Windows Server 2016 supports Wake on LAN(WOL) feature?

If Yes, does WOL supported for S3, S4 and S5 power states ?

    Hi ,

    Welcome to our new Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    Based on my research,Windows Server 2016 supports Wake on LAN feature.

    >>If Yes, does WOL supported for S3, S4 and S5 power states ?

    WOL is supported only from sleep (S3) or hibernation (S4) states in server 2016. Windows Server 2016 cannot be remote-started using Wake-on-LAN from the S5 state.

    For more details, please refer to the following link:
