Would it be possible to add information about what is displayed on the screen before restart or shutdown

Our users have their computers on 24/7, and seldomly reboot. A reboot job with the same options as in the "Configuration policy" -> "Windows update restart configurations" -> "Allow end users to control device restarts" would be very helpful, as this would take into consideration that a user potentially could be in a meeting (or the like) when the reboot is scheduled to occur.

Is there an update on this?

I am evaluating the platform at the moment and this is the feature it urgently needs, apart from that i am loving everything.

Would also be cool if it you can choose whether it`s a silent or notified shutdown\reboot

I just have an IT Automation created for this set to run once and when I want to use it I just set the date and add the server(s) to it. There definitely could be an easier way to schedule, but this way works without issue.

I use this in Powershell:
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {schtasks.exe /Create /tn "Reboot Computer" /RU SYSTEM /tr "C:\windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /f /d P:4:1 /c 'Onetime Reboot'" /sc ONCE /SD {[MyDate]} /ST {[MyTime]}}

Atera remote command prompt: shutdown /f /r /t 36000
(or whatever time in seconds you want).

A built in scheduled remote restart would be nice though.

Would be nice to add this to the Threshold - device hasn't been rebooted in 30 days - then add an automation script to reboot it.

Scripting is nice, but a scheduled reboot is something we do on a weekly basis, but not necessarily at regular intervals. Would be easier to have this in the UI.

Scheduling a script run right at the device (or even inside a ticket where you could pick the device!) would be ideal, with users in meetings frequently we could schedule patch removals or other items requiring a reboot for post meeting or known free/available time - it would be ideal as well to get an automated ticket update saying it had run and completed or failed

I too am looking for this feature. I tried to script in several things to display an option but none of them worked :(

Hi Christian,
There is an option for one-time running including reboot, doesn't it help? (pic is attached)

In the daily administration, I miss this function the most. I also don't want to solve this by script and restart too many servers at once at the same time.
This is really an important feature that is missing!

I used this batch:

@echo off
SETLOCAL
SET RestartHour={[RestartHour]}
SET /a TEST=%RESTARTHOUR%
IF %TEST% GEQ 24 (
echo TIME NOT ADMITTED!
exit /b
)
SET NOWTIME=%TIME:~0,2%%TIME:~3,2%
SET SCHTIME=%RestartHour%00
SET today=%date%

CALL:DateToJDN %today% todayNo
rem ECHO(this is day no. %todayNo%
SET /a tomorrowNo=todayNo+1
rem ECHO(tomorrow is day no. %tomorrowNo%

CALL:JDNToDate %tomorrowNo% tomorrow
rem ECHO(tomorrow is %tomorrow%

IF %NOWTIME% GEQ %SCHTIME% (
echo Scheduled reboot for tomorrow at %SCHTIME:~0,2%:00
set SCHDAY=%TOMORROW:~0,2%/%TOMORROW:~3,2%/%TOMORROW:~6,4%
) ELSE (
echo Scheduled reboot today at %SCHTIME:~0,2%:00
set SCHDAY=%DATE:~0,2%/%DATE:~3,2%/%DATE:~6,4%
)
schtasks /create /f /tn ScheduledRestart /tr "shutdown /r /t 120 /f" /sc minute /mo 1 /st %RestartHour%:00:00 /et %RestartHour%:02:00 /z /SD %SCHDAY% /RL HIGHEST /RU SYSTEM >NUL
echo.
echo.
echo SCHEDULED TASKS:
schtasks | findstr ScheduledRestart

GOTO:EOF

:DateToJDN dd.mm.yyyy jdn=
setlocal
set date=%1
set /A yy=%date:~-4%, mm=1%date:~-7,2% %% 100, dd=1%date:~-10,2% %% 100
set /A a=mm-14, jdn=(1461*(yy+4800+a/12))/4+(367*(mm-2-12*(a/12)))/12-(3*((yy+4900+a/12)/100))/4+dd-32075
endlocal & set %2=%jdn%
exit /B

if %mm% lss 10 set mm=0%mm%

exit /B

end-local

Currently there are scripts in the script library that will do this

There's sometimes a need to restart servers out of hours. Would be good to schedule a restart out of hours without having to setup a one-time IT Automation profile. That is, on the restart option, have a box to select a date/time to do the restart (or now).
