Deploying a .cmd file with a reboot
Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife
To do this with SCCM, would you guys just add a restart command at the end of the .cmd, or would you call the .cmd from with a batch file and put the reboot in the batch file, or would you package it some other way?

I’d add a restart (shutdown -r -f -t 0) at the end of the cmd.

Thanks Michael, that sounds like a good plan.
I also have a Powershell script I’m trying to deploy. I went the “easy” route first, just by putting into the Software Library – Scripts area, then testing by telling a specific machine to run it. Unfortunately, the script also didn’t have a restart mechanism in it. I’m thinking of adding:
Start-sleep -Seconds 300
Restart-Computer
Does that seem appropriate?

Helton, Matt
The Restart-Computer command has a delay option. However, you don’t need to go to that extreme if you don’t want to. A simple
shutdown -r -t 300
would do the same thing and has other options that might give you more information to the user, if a user will see it. That being said, there are some features of the Powershell Restart-Computer command that might help with your task, such as waiting
to reboot until certain processes or particular services become available. The Restart-Computer help page has a lot of useful information and examples. I’ve used it quite a bit for restarting computers via script. However, I usually use Invoke-Command to run
shutdown -r -t 0
on a machine.
