We have a dilemma.
We need the ability similar to what WSUS does to restore open/running applications upon user logon after a post-patch initiated automatic restart. You can simulate this behavior by using the Windows built-in “shutdown.exe /g /t 00” command, however this command doesn’t seem to work when pushing it as an action using waithidden (we want to suppress the shutdown.exe’s restart notification bubble). The BigFix built-in automatic restart doesn’t seem to have this capability either (which would be very nice).
Has anyone successfully been able to do this using BigFix?
