Shutting down or Restarting a device remotely

A GFI OneGuard administrator may remotely send a shutdown or restart command to managed devices.

NOTE

Use this feature with caution. A logged in end user cannot cancel the reboot or shutdown command.

To do this:

  1. Log in to GFI OneGuard and go to Manage > DevicesMachines connected to a network that have been discovered by GFI OneGuard..
  2. Under Managed Groups, click the group that contains the required device.
  3. In the right pane, hover mouse over the device and click Manage.
  4. In the Overview tab, under Power Options, click Shutdown or Reboot.
  5. Set delay time for shutdown operation

  6. Choose the command delay. This warns the user about the operation and gives time to finish and save work.
  7. Click OK to confirm.
