2.22.4 Behavior when users are directed to restart computers
When the management server directs agent-installed computers to restart, the Computer Restart Settings dialog box will be displayed. The behavior (restart timing) related to this dialog box differs depending on the settings in Settings to shut down and restart the computer (under User notification settings) of Agent Configurations.
-
If Automatically start if no response is received from the user within the specified period has been selected, the computer will automatically restart when the time specified in Agent Configuration has passed after the dialog box is displayed. This will occur even if the user does not respond to the dialog box.
-
If Follow the response of the user in the dialog box that instructs the user to shut down or restart the computer has been selected, the computer will restart after the user responds to the dialog box. The computer will not restart automatically.
-
If you disable Settings to shut down and restart the computer under User notification settings in the Agent Configurations, the Restart Computer dialog box will not be displayed and you will not be asked to restart your computer.
The following figure shows the Computer Restart Settings dialog box when Automatically start if no response is received from the user within the specified period has been selected.

If the computer is locked, it will not be automatically restarted.

-
If another user is logged on, the computer will not be automatically restarted.

-
If the computer receives notification of turning off the computer from the management server while the Computer Restart Settings dialog box is being displayed, only the notification of turning off the computer will be enabled. In this case, the Computer Restart Settings dialog box will be cancelled, and the Shutdown Computer dialog box will be displayed.
