  • 1.  Power Control Task - Reboot Fails

    Posted Mar 19, 2012 02:14 PM

    Has anyone else seen this before?  It should be easily reproducible.

     

    Simply put, when I run a power control (reboot in this case), on a recently re-imaged PC, the PC fails to reboot, and the NS client is stuck in the shutting down phase.

    This ends up causing the task to time out, and really the only way I have seen to fix this is to instead use a script that just does shutdown /f /r /t now

     

    Does anyone know of a legit fix for this?  using the shutdown command isn't ideal, since it will immedialty pass back as successful, and then the next task starts (and fails), since it doesn't know any better.

     

    Thoughts?

    Could you not run ping -t 127.0.0.1 as the next task and continue on fail?

    We tend to do the same on DS6.9 SP2 in using the shutdown -f -r instead of powercontrol. It hangs some jobs especially during deployments.
