Endpoint Protection

Hi

I want my all client where we have SEP installed must get Reboot every after 4 hours.

Can anyone having this policy or created this policy through HI?

Client OS: Window xp and window 7

SEPM version:-11.7 MP1 and 12.1 RU4

Try the below step first on testing group

You can go to the client tab from Console and select policies Tab then General setting from (Location-independent Policies and Settings)

I General setting you can find Restart Setting.

Choose the custom restart and set the time and apply

Hi Raju,

We are unable to find this options in 11.7 MP1 SEPM console?

This option is for 12.x, i am currently using 12.x so only able to provide the screenshot for same.

Hi Nagesh,

Any reason do you want to reboot all system every 4 hours ?If you will reboot your system every 4 hours that impact your company business.production.

Hi James,

Current we are currently deploying MS-Patched which required Reboot.

This is not possible in 11.x. You would need to use another product such as SCCM or Altiris.

What product do you have use for deploy MS -Patched ?

If you use SCCM, it can do the reboots for you.

In SEPM 11.x this setting available but you can run manually in one by one every each group

SEPM->Client Group

HI Ashish,

Thanks but is it possible to created policy and do it automatically through HI? 

Nagesh,

I am not familiar SNAC it’s better you can done manually, System restart activity once in month when Microsoft release new MS patched.

I agree with the others in that I would not consider this the best way of managing restarts on your endpoints for the purposes of updates.

If you do really want to create repeating scheduled reboots, then perhaps you could just push out a script (via GPO?) to create a scheduled task instead?

Finally, if you really really want to do this via a HI policy, it should be as simple as creating a poicy with a custom requirement (and no others), and adding the Function -> Utility: Run a program and setting this to perform a shutdown /r /t 0.  Then just set this policy to check HI status every 4 hours and you should be away.

Again though, I'd personally go for a managed solution like Altiris instead.
