Detailed 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.
