@Satheesh I don’t agree with what you want changed.
Currently, - if a computer is off, a scheduled task will wake it up and perform the task.
If it is on - and you’re using the FOG Client - the fog client will ask the user to allow maintenance, or to delay 10 minutes (currently). The client at the end of the delay will reboot the computer, and the computer performs the task.
I don’t see how this isn’t good enough. You are asking for the computer to purposely hang during the boot process for - how long? That’s not acceptable. And why can’t WOL be turned on? You’re asking the developers to do a very major change because you don’t want to turn on WOL. We’re in Release Candidate mode - and this is way far out there - and not only is it way far out there, I just wouldn’t ever use a scheduled image task anymore because I don’t want my organization’s computers just hanging on boot. It’s unacceptable.
My advice to you, turn on WOL like the rest of us did.
