Insight Tech Console User Guide
Most computers ship with the Wake-On-LAN option turned off in the BIOS, so you must go into
the BIOS setup at boot time and turn it on.
Apple's version of Wake-On-LAN will wake a Mac from sleep but will not power-on a Mac that is
off.
User Power-Off
Log off, restart or power off user computers.
Remote Login
From the Tech Console you can remotely login into Windows machines if the user has a password
and the Welcome screen is not displayed. This is the screen which displays icons with the last
successfully logged in users, instead of requiring the person to type in their name. Logging on at
the Welcome screen is not typically available on computers that are members of a network
domain, but it is the default for most PCs that are simply members of a workgroup. You can
modify this behavior on those machines if desired. The manual steps to change from the Welcome
screen to the default name and password screen are different on XP than on Vista and Windows 7:
XP
1. As a user with administrator rights, open User Accounts in the Control Panel.
2. Click Change the way users log on or off.
3. Clear the “Use the Welcome screen” check box.
Vista and Windows 7
As a user with administrator rights, open Local Security Policy in Administrative Tools in the
Control Panel.
Go to the Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options.
In the right hand pane find the “Interactive Logon: Do not Display last user name” policy and
enable that policy.
Note: Remote login is not supported on Mac Students or Teachers.
Send/Collect File Folders
Send and collect an entire folder of files, including subfolders, or send or collect a single file at a
time.
Change Machine Display Name
This option does not alter the computer's actual machine name. However, it will allow an
alternative name to be displayed in the Tech Console's Machine Name field. On Windows, if your
computers do not have meaningful Machine Names, you can use this menu option to better name
the computers (i.e. “Row 1 Column 5”).
