Scheduled reboot for agent-managed servers

adminmd

I've got a few servers in the DMZ that I've got the patch manager agent installed on. These are able to communicate back to the patch manager server, but when I put them in a specific computer group that has a scheduled reboot for a certain time, these DMZ servers are left out.

Is there a certain way to configure DMZ servers to reboot on a schedule? Do they need a schedule created for each DMZ server specifically?

May be some issues you want to look at with the DMZ machines, this article has some suggestions, but the WMI connectivity shouldn't really be at play directly if you're using the agent:

There is a separate action for reboot/shutdown that you can use and schedule. You can find it if you highlight a machine or group and check the action bar or right click. It's similar to running shutdown /i from the command line. This might be more of a work around in your case, but could be useful for troubleshooting. If this doesn't work hopefully you can get something from the logs that will indicate what's happening.
