Run office PC from home

This morning, I learnt how to switch on my office PC from home.

In my scenario, my office has citrix which I can log in to.

Before this morning, I had to leave my PC on before I left work if I wanted to use it from home. At home, I would log on to citrix and then remote desktop to my office PC.

This wikipedia article provided good resource to find scripts to switch on my PC from home. I used one of the scripts provided and tested it to wake up my computer via citrix. It worked. Once that was accomplished, I could then remote just as if I had left the computer on.

Now I don’t have to leave my computer on if I want to work from home.
