Shutdown Implementation Notes

There are two methods you can use to shut down the connected machines in your organization.

  • You can use the right-click Power > Shut down now shortcut command from within Machine View or Scan View. With this method:
    • The console machine is not affected
    • The selected machines will be shut down immediately
    • No warning will be issued to active users of those machines
  • You can use a power state template to schedule a shutdown. With this method:
    • The console machine is eligible to be shut down
    • You can schedule the shutdown to happen immediately or at some point in the future
    • A warning will issued to all active users of those machines
