Wake-on-LAN using a PowerShell Script « Nigel Boulton's Blog. I currently have a home lab based on Simon Gallagher's excellent vTARDIS.
This is an HP ProLiant ML115 which runs 8 virtual ESXi hosts arranged into a cluster which in turn run 30 Linux virtual machines. As you can imagine, this takes quite a while to start up! For this reason, I wanted a way to start the physical host programmatically (either on a scheduled basis or remotely via my home automation interface), in preparation for working on it or doing some learning. So a PowerShell script was obviously the answer! Within the lab itself I have a PowerCLI script which automatically powers up the various components in the correct order (but that's another story...). The script I developed is shown below.
The script is shown below, but for your convenience you can download a copy here (MD5 checksum: 0533313E71C42816217F948247C17F9E) to save you copying and pasting (and all the potential problems associated with doing that) should you want to make use of it.
