| Guest | Determine if reboot happened Hi, I'm running a script against a number of workstations and some workstations require a reboot. If i have to execute a reboot what do you guys recommend in determining if the machine actually took the reboot command? Would like to know if the reboot actually happened, something i should pull from the event log? Just looking for some ideas. Thanks! |

| Guest | RE: Determine if reboot happened Right now i'm using the following code to issue a reboot: $workstationObj = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -computer ` workstationID $workstationObj.Reboot() But how do i know the actual workstation took the command, or didnt get hung up on an application or was locked up.
