Hello,

Please help me out with one of the queries that I have about Bigfix.

After I apply the patches using Bigfix my users dont shutdown there client machines/desktops/laptops or not even restart there machines, sometimes for 15 days,due to which patch deployment is not happening successfully, is there anyway that I can forcefully shutdown there desktops/laptops after the patch deployment is completed.

While force shutdown happens it should give few minutes for users to shutdown there desktop/laptop with highligting some message.

I dont want to do it using Group Policy scripting or by PsShutdown utility, I want to forcefully shutdown computers after patch deployment is completed.

Please guide.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ashish Joshi

Have you taken a look at the “post action” tab in the action dialogue box when you apply the patches? You can force machines to shutdown, pop up a message to users, and allow them to cancel or postpone if you choose.
