2.21.3 Behavior when users are directed to turn off computers
When the management server directs agent-installed computers to turn off, the Shutdown Computer dialog box will be displayed. Such agent-installed computers will be shut down 180 seconds after the Shutdown Computer dialog box is displayed.
The following figure shows the Shutdown Computer dialog box.
- Shutdown Now button
-
Clicking this button immediately shuts down the computer.
- Shutdown Later button
-
Clicking this button cancels shutdown of the computer. The Shutdown Computer dialog box will not be displayed again, so the user must manually shut down the computer after clicking this button.
The following are notes on shutting down a computer:
-
If the screen saver is activated and the screen is password-protected, the computer will not be automatically shut down.
-
If the computer is locked, it will not be automatically shut down.
-
If there is a file being edited, the computer will not be automatically shut down.
-
If another user is logged on, the computer will not be automatically shut down.

If no user is logged on, the computer will be automatically shut down without displaying the Shutdown Computer dialog box.

If the computer receives notification of turning off the computer from the management server while the Shutdown Computer dialog box is being displayed, subsequent notifications will be disabled.
