Shutdown Policy Group

The Shutdown policy group lets you view or edit the policy properties to control the shutdown behavior of the target computers and the politeness of an initiated shutdown. It also enables you to control power management calendar settings.

This policy group contains the following policy folder:

Power Management Calendar

The Shutdown policy group also contains the following policies:

Shutdown: Forced Shutdown

Specifies that the shutdown routine forces programs to shut down if the value is set to True.

Default: False

Shutdown: Number of Shutdown postpones

Specifies the number of times the shutdown prompt can be postponed.

Default: 5

Shutdown: Polite Shutdown

Specifies that a requested shutdown is not initiated automatically if the value is set to True. Instead, a message appears and prompts the user to save all the work. The message does not include a timer and waits for the response from the user. The shutdown initiates only when the user closes the message. The shutdown routine uses this policy.

Default: False

Shutdown: Prompt timeout

Specifies the timeout period in seconds for the Shutdown dialog. If the timeout period is empty (not set), the initial timeout is 5 minutes, and every consecutive postponement is 5 minutes in duration. If the timeout period is set to some value, both the initial timeout and the consecutive postponements use the specified value.

Default: 300

Shutdown: Shutdown Behavior

Controls the overall shutdown behavior of each target computer. This policy is centrally managed by default. It uses the calendar options, job options, or both depending on the settings you define. It can take one of the following options:

0

Specifies that the computer must not be shut down after completion of the last SD job. This is the default value for this configuration policy.

1

Shuts down the computer if the Boot Level after execution property is set to the Shutdown machine after last job option. The parameter ignores the power management calendar setting in this case.

2

Shuts down the computer based on the power management calendar settings of the target computer. The parameter ignores the Boot Level after execution property if the property is set to the shutdown option.

3

Shuts down the computer based on the Boot Level after execution property or the calendar option. It uses either of the two options to decide whether to shut down the computer. It will always shut down the computer if the value of the Boot Level after execution property is set to the Shutdown machine after last job option or the power management calendar indicates that a shutdown must be performed.

4

Shuts down the computer based on the Boot Level after execution property and the calendar options. It uses both the options to decide whether to shut down the computer. It will shut down the computer only if the Boot Level after execution property is set to the Shutdown machine after last job option and the power management calendar indicates that a shutdown must be performed.
