Description

Rebooting a device is a key activity to maintain its overall health and performance. In fact, in many cases, slow or sluggish PCs can be remediated with a simple restart allowing the device to finally update, close unnecessary apps or refresh its memory, for example. Unfortunately, most employees do not follow this best practice.

The Automate Device Restart / Logoff / Shutdown Windows Library Pack solves that problem.

This solution allows IT teams to define a “days since last reboot” threshold. Devices which pass that threshold will receive an automated Engage Campaign prompting them to restart. Note that this solution offers employees the option to refuse or postpone the action.

With this automated self-heal feature, IT can proactively prevent employees from experiencing common issues that can be solved with a quick restart, without disrupting their daily workflow.

Alternatively, this solution comes with the ability to immediately trigger a restart, reboot, or log off on the user device without employee engagement.
