Juan, I don't know if there is ever a "good" time. What I had to deal with in the past was network traffic and slowing the computers down. During the day when productivity was needed it was found upon to do anything that might make more network traffic or slow the computers down.
I wound up using wake on lan and writing a web interface into a WOL solution so I can be at home, VPN in and wake up the computers then kick off the scan. I never got around to sending a shut down command to them but that was on the radar to do after the scan completed. I eventualy got the scan solution to do a prescript to do the WOL, wait for a specified time and then start the scan. BTW how did you get people to turn off the computers? For a long time I had to bug them to turn them off, or at least log off, they did not want to wait for the boot time in the morning. -nic On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 11:02 AM, Juan Cortes <[email protected]>wrote: > Guys, > > Sort of new to this, but is there a sort of industry standard time when to > scan.
