you would need to wake the computers first.

It seems like Honey_Jack is discussing the same problem as you in this thread: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/any-idea-update-hibernate-systems

Nightwatchman is also available

try to change the communication setting in push mode. hope it will be work.

I will try to make this change for test purpose

If a pc is in sleep mode you can't upgrade the patches.

Upgrade cannot be done in sleep mode.

I have find one tool which are going to enable the system from sleep mode as per schedule time but as per our policy system will back in sleepmode with in 15 minute of idle time. As per heartbeat timing in our console it will take the update under 30minute.So it not possible that system get update.

 Is there any file avail in SEP client which can directly connect with server while getting up from sleepmode. So client will be update in under time schedule
