Configure the Polite Shutdown Policies

oftware delivery allows the polite shutdown of a target computer. The polite shutdown policies control the politeness of an initiated shutdown.

To configure the polite shutdown policies

1. Navigate to Control Panel, Configuration, Configuration Policy, policy name, DSM, Common Components, CAF, Shutdown.

   A list of all the policies in the Shutdown policy group appears.

2. Double-click the appropriate policies, and enter values in the Setting Properties dialog:

   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 user’s response. 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

3. Click OK.

   The polite shutdown policies are configured.
