However, on one Dell model in particular (960) the powerdown command is the equivalent of pulling the plug, so the PC cannot re-cycle it's power as it does during a normal shutdown. Therefore the NIC doesn't stay live so I can't send a powerup command. Is there any way in vPro to send a Windows shutdown command instead of poweroff? Thank you.
