Remotely shutting down or rebooting a device

In the Ivanti Management Console's Network View, you can right-click a device and select Shutdown or reboot. This displays the Shutdown or reboot dialog box, which has these options:

  • Initiate reboot if needed using agent settings: Triggers a reboot if one is needed. Either use the current reboot agent setting or select a different one.
  • Act as if reboot is ALWAYS needed: Forces a reboot based on the selected agent setting.
  • Ignore other Ivanti tasks: Forces a reboot even if another Ivanti task is in progress.
  • Initiate shutdown with 10 second option to cancel: Overrides the reboot agent setting and gives the user a 10 second option to cancel.
  • Initiate reboot with 10 second option to cancel: Overrides the reboot agent setting and gives the user a 10 second option to cancel.
