I’d love the ability to right click and restart a computer and/or group of computers.
For instance, if I see a group of PC’s in the results of a fixlet that have “pending restart”, I’d love to highlight those pc’s and right-click to restart; or even “view as group” and then restart.
Sometimes it just make sense to do a reboot for troubleshooting purposes and a quick and easy way to do that would be awesome.
Thanks!

Are you already familiar with adding right click options and adding to the registry?
If yes then you can add this to your registry. “MaxComputerSetSize” is how many in one selection can be eligible for the right click option.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BigFix\Enterprise Console\Settings\ComputerListContextMenuExtensions\Restart Computer
“ComputerApplicabilityRelevance”=“true”
“MenuDisplayName”=“Restart Computer”
“ShellCommandRelevance”="“shutdown /r /t 0 /d p:0:0 /m \\” & (value of property results whose (name of property of it = “Computer Name” ) of current computer)"
“MaxComputerSetSize”=dword:00000050

Hi, make a .reg file with the following then retry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BigFix\Enterprise Console\Settings\ComputerListContextMenuExtensions
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BigFix\Enterprise Console\Settings\ComputerListContextMenuExtensions\Restart Computer
“ComputerApplicabilityRelevance”=“true”
“MenuDisplayName”=“Restart Computer”
“ShellCommandRelevance”="“shutdown /r /t 0 /d p:0:0 /m \\” & (value of property results whose (name of property of it = “Computer Name” ) of current computer)"
“MaxComputerSetSize”=dword:00000050
