Need to add line for reboot

Question

Hi,

I have a script that is working, but I need to add a line to restart the machine after 8 hours and it should give a notification as well. I will deploy this script using Intune through the Win32 method, so I also need to know what detection logic to apply.

#requires -runasadministrator Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force try { Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/WMI -ClassName Lenovo_SetBiosSetting | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName SetBiosSetting -Arguments @{parameter = "UserPresenceSensing,Disable" } # If Supervisor Password is set, uncomment the line below and replace with your SVP. # Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/WMI -ClassName Lenovo_WmiOpcodeInterface | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName WmiOpcodeInterface -Arguments @{Parameter = "WmiOpcodePasswordAdmin:supervisorpassword" } Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/WMI -ClassName Lenovo_SaveBiosSettings | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName SaveBiosSettings Write-Output "User Presence Sensing Disabled." return 0 } catch { Write-Output $_.Exception.Message return 1 }

Hi TechUST,

Please use the shutdown command in Windows to schedule a restart. The /r switch is for restart, the /t switch specifies the time delay in seconds, and the /c switch is for the comment that will be shown in the notification.

requires -runasadministrator

restart the machine after 8 hours and show a notification before restarting

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
try {
    Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/WMI -ClassName Lenovo_SetBiosSetting | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName SetBiosSetting -Arguments @{parameter = "UserPresenceSensing,Disable" }

    Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/WMI -ClassName Lenovo_SaveBiosSettings | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName SaveBiosSettings
    Write-Output "User Presence Sensing is Disabled."
    
    shutdown.exe /r /t 28800 /c "System will restart in 8h"
    
    return 0
} catch {
    Write-Output $_.Exception.Message
    return 1
}
