That option is designed for remotely restarting a system post an upgrade/update to the product.
That's an explanation. As to why it's not doing it, I'm curious, can you try a remote shutdown command and see if that does it? It is perhaps a credentialing issue.

I'll give that a shot next time, fwiw, but I'd like to know the answer to my question. :) [cid:image001.jpg@01CAEDF5.347F5150][cid:image002....@01caedf5.347f5150] From: Michael B.

I've told several machines to automatically reboot and they have not done so. I have ended up either going to the machine in question and manually rebooting it or logging into the machine from remote and telling it to reboot that way.
