Hello folks,

I am looking for a worklet that will reboot servers if a reboot is required. I’m using one from the Worklet catalog at the moment, but it doesn’t give any details after it has ran, and 90% of the time it gives a “COMMAND TIMEOUT” error.  Could anyone provide some insight on what they do, or if they know what may be wrong with the worklet that is causing it to timeout?

This is what i’m currently using:

evaluation script:

Evaluation script:

# Checks whether or not the system requires a reboot, and remediates accordingly.
$sysInfo = New-Object -ComObject "Microsoft.Update.SystemInfo"
if($sysInfo.RebootRequired)
{ 
    exit 1
}
else
{
    exit 0
}

    .SYNOPSIS
        Sends reboot signal given conditions are met.
    .DESCRIPTION
        Two conditions must be met for automatic reboot:
        1. The local time must be between $rebootStartTime and $rebootEndTime
        2. There has not been any user input for at least $idleTime minutes
    .INPUTS
        rebootStartTime: The beginning of the time period in which a reboot should be issued.
        rebootEndTime: The ending of the time period in which a reboot should be issued.
        minIdleTime: How many minutes without user input must pass before a reboot is issued.
