Description

The Start-BrokerDesktopGroupRebootCycle cmdlet is used to create and start a reboot cycle for specified desktop groups.

The functionality offered is similar to that of New-BrokerRebootSchedule but the resulting reboot cycles execute once as defined by the command parameters rather than on a repeating schedule.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Starts a new reboot cycle for the desktop group called “SampleGroup”. Each reboot cycle has a duration of six hours. Fifteen minutes prior to rebooting a machine, the message “Save your work” is displayed in each active user session. Only machines tagged with the tag having UID 2 will be rebooted.

Get-BrokerDesktopGroup "SampleGroup" | Start-BrokerDesktopGroupRebootCycle -RebootDuration 240 -WarningMessage "Save your work" -WarningDuration 15 -RestrictToTagUid 2
