VBscript to wake up standby mode

[ndisdabest]

Hi --

I am writing a script that will need to detect if a PC is in standby mode and, if it is, wake it up to perform some other jobs. Does anyone know how to do this?

Set colMonitoredEvents = GetObject("winmgmts:")._
ExecNotificationQuery("Select * from Win32_PowerManagementEvent WHERE EventType='18'")
Do
Set strLatestEvent = colMonitoredEvents.NextEvent

Loop

if i recall the eventtype 18 is when it comes out of hibernation.
you might want to look at something like Win32_Powermanagement to detect if it is actually in standby. good place to start i would think
