Can IIS wake up the system?

[ThePuiu]

We have a system with Windows 7 Ultimate and IIS7. If there is no activity for 1 hour, the system enters to sleep. Can IIS7 wake up the system from sleep state when somebody try to access the computer's IP address?

Thank you!

It you're going to have a web server, you should set it to never sleep.

You could try allowing your NIC to wake the computer up.

@Rabbit: thank for the advise
@mperrigon: wake on lan working very well but i'm looking for a solution to wake up the sistem from outside of the router through IIS (when somebody try to view my page). The sistem is super fast - it need only 3-4 sec to wake up. From intranet, WOL are working perfectly.

i'm not sure I understand what you are asking for. Any request for a page view goes through the NIC so the system should wake up. Here are some more resources which may be helpful

Check out the section Remote Wake On LAN via Port Forwarding and Automatic Wake-On-LAN Daemon
