Client Settings: Computer restart

[xc3ss1v3]

Hey guys... was hoping to get some clarification about the computer restart client setting. At first glance, my group and I were under the impression that this setting simply started a reboot process on machines to which it was applied. However, after seeing it not run on every system in our test group and noticing that there are 0 settings for when the setting to run, I started thinking we were off a touch.

 

I couldn't find much written about it any kind of documentation other than it sets an amount of time for notification. Does this setting only apply itself to machines that are actually pending some kind of restart? Any that aren't, the setting would simply be passed over?

not sure if i understand you correctly but here is what i would Say:

this setting would be applied to clients with buffer time what you set if the computer requires restart after the deployment is done.You can also have the option to promot mandatory window (default 15 min) before the restart and no more supressions for the end user to reboot.

if you have other cusomised client agent settings with higher priority,they would be applied on the clients and with lower priority would be ignored.

Thanks Eswar...

I did some testing after I posted that and that's pretty much what I came up with. That is simply applies to machines where you have selected SCCM to restart the machine via a package or TS. Thanks for the response!
