You can turn the machines on with wake-on-lan about 10 minutes prior
to scanning. Works well for pushing patches/inventory control also. 

Depending on the size of your estate, and apologies for the relatively
obvious advice... but *don't* turn all of the PCs back on at the same
time, stagger it over a period of a few minutes.

Unless you're intentionally testing to see how efficiently your UPS
kicks in of course...
