Hi All,
In our environment, we are trying to reboot the DC using “restart needed” Fixlet. Reboot of the server is happening after 30 to 40 mins or even after an hour some cases. We have tried even “restart 180” in action script that also taking same time. we wanted to force restart of DC. Please suggest is there any way.
Thank you.
Hello Sangeetha,
It’s not exacly recommended to call the OS shutdown commands from within actionscript for some OS (like AIX).
For Win you may try to use the following command:
DOS SHUTDOWN /R /F /T 0 /d P:0:0
It should cause your targeted Win systems to restart immediately and register that it was an “Other (Planned)” shutdown event. You may adjust the timing option as needed.
Definitely not suggested to do this as the action doesn’t “complete” if the system restarts during the execution of the action via an OS command like this.
This is basically what the client is doing internally anyway. The action also may see someone logged in and depending on settings, delay the restart. And domain controllers can be slow with some relevance (due to the number of “users” the DC actually has) so could any of those apply?
