Use the EaReboot parameter to notify DTM to restart the computer. This parameter functions only when WttCmd executes from a task within a DTM job.

Syntax

wttcmd.exe /eareboot [/restart] [/timeout:<value>] /taskwillreboot
Argument Description

/Restart

Specifies to restart the same task after the computer restarts. Without this argument, the task will complete after restart and the next task or job will be started.

/Timeout:<value>

The number of seconds DTM should wait for the tasks currently executing to complete.

/TaskWillReboot

Specifies the task that initiated WttCmd will itself initiate the restart. The default behavior is for DTM to initiate the restart.

 

Examples

wttcmd.exe /eareboot /restart /timeout:10
wttcmd.exe /eareboot /restart /taskwillreboot /timeout:10

Remarks

Microsoft recommends specifying a timeout value of at least 5 or more seconds to enable DTM some time to communicate information between the controller and client before the client reboots.
