Sort of new to this, but is there a sort of industry standard time when to scan. Basically this scan will be workstations and I would like to scan
them
during the day since some users turn them off and I would like to get away from bugging people to leave them on. Any suggestions?
Wake On LAN. Nearly every PC manufactured for the last few years has this capability, and many management tools such as SCCM and Unicenter have controls built in. Use WOL to wake everyone up, then scan with a very high probability of response. This can be done at night, so as not to clobber user ops.
