This VBScript will request a target system power state change via the iDRAC using the WS-Man protocol. The script takes as input the IP Address of the target system iDRAC, the username of an iDRAC identity with Execute Server Command privilege, the password for the username and the requested power state. Possible power states include 2=ON, 8=OFF, 5=Power Cycle, 12=Graceful Off, 15=Graceful Power Cycle.

I tried this script on both a PE 1950 and a M710 blade with no luck. Does anyone out there have any experience with this script? I'm trying to put together a VB /PowerShell script to power on my servers at our DR site, normally the servers are powered down.

Thanks in advance!

I used that script few weeks back for testing on my R710 before I recorded my WSMAN demo. Worked fine, AFTER I upgraded the bios/firmware on the system.

What firmware rev is your idrac ?

Hi Scott,
I have the latest CMC (2.11 A00), BIOS (1.3.6) and iDrac FW (2.20 A01)on the M710. I know the script is making it to the iDrac because if I deliberately use a bad password I get an access denied, if I use the correct creds the following is returned:

Thx in advance!

The fault is occurring only with modular iDRAC. I have updated the script that works around this fault. In addition, the script can target the CMC to control power on the blades in the chassis. Here is the link: http://attachments.wetpaintserv.us/bS%24XbHSXzgGkCyzW7IsSvg%3D%3D7451

This worked great! Thx!
