Hi, I'm looking for a way to remotely restart my macs reboot after just 1 check in. I've noticed that some configuration profiles do not apply until the machine reboots. I'm not installing any special software or anything, but I would like the machines to go through a normal reboot cycle, something I can control and just bring up when I need the machine to restart

Remote restart

+18Hi, you can do that via a policy in the restart options, or push it out manually using Casper Remote.
I would probably include it in a first setup script as a final step to ensure it happens automatically and at the right time.
+7If you want to manually restart the machine, you can launch Casper Remote, check the box of whatever computer you want, click the restart tab, and restart it from there.
+27I happen to agree with @davidacland this would be far better in the first run script. That said, you can always have a restart policy that only runs once and then decide how you prefer to control this. Having a machine restart is pretty simple so long as the user isn't on it. It's get's a bit more interesting when you have to give your users options ;-)
