    How to Restart Computer from SCCM Console

    January 22, 2025545 Views

    In this article, I will show you how to restart computer from SCCM console. Using Configuration Manager console, you can identify client devices that require a restart and then use a client notification action to restart those client devices.

    You can trigger a restart of a remote computer from the SCCM console and it’s very easy. The restart option is available on individual device as well as for entire device collection. With that said the SCCM admins need to be careful while triggering a restart from the console. If you initiate restart on a device collection, all the computers part of collection will be restarted.

    Note that you can only restart the Windows computers from SCCM console. The remote computer has to be online and should be running the latest version of client agent.

    For more information, refer device restart notifications in Configuration Manager console.

    When the restart notification is received by a client device, a notification window opens to inform the user about the restart. By default, the restart occurs after 90 minutes.

    If you want to change the default restart time you can do that in the configuration of the Client Settings. The restart simply honors the restart behavior, as configured in the Computer Restart tab of the Client Settings.
