WakeUpNow

PowerShell scripts to do the morning dance:

• VPN into work
• Wake up your dev machine via wol.red-gate.com
• Remote into your dev machine

Usage

I launch the script from a .cmd file on my desktop:

powershell "& C:\Users\Sam\source\repos\WakeUpNow\WakeUpNow.ps1"

You will be prompted for information the first time you run the script:

• Your machine name (often dev-firstname.red-gate.com)
• Your Redgate domain username (usually firstname.lastname)
• Your Redgate domain password

Stored information

The script caches the following information:

• Your machine name, in a .gitignored file called machine.txt
• Your domain creds, in the Windows Credential Store

Disclaimers

• You should only use this script if you trust your home machine
• You should change your password if your machine gets hacked
