Automated server reboot script, without affecting users in citrix.

Check the last post with script. It waits until there are no active users:

http://www.dabcc.com/posts.aspx?thread=330&forum=67

This will disable the logins on the server and will give three messages to users before 7, 5 and 1 minute and then it will enable login and will initiate server reboot.  You can save below script with extension "xxxx.cmd" and put in server's schedule task to automate reboot.

Please find below batch script to reboot server and cleaning system.

Vishva, I dont want to send notification to users, we need to wait users to log off from citrix server and once there are no users logged on, then the server will have to reboot itself. We are not sure what exactly user doing. Some time uesr with customers in that case forcing user log off is not a good option.

Basraj, I tried the script which you suggested, after all the user logged no one logged in server didnt rebooted.

- Server disabled the login
- no users logged in
- only port listining is active, but server not rebooted.
- finally I logged to server console and restated the server then enabled same in xitrix server.

ENV - Windows 2003 Server, PS 4.5 & Xenapp.

Tue 05/17/2011
Starting shutdown script
Aborted - Shutdown script timed out.
exited

Today I downloaded script from http://www.dabcc.com/miab/reboots/smartreboot.zip and tested, its working fine, but when users are working it sends the notification and restarted the server.

we need to wait users to log off from citrix server and once there are no users logged on, then the server will have to reboot itself. Please help me to get same in script

Thanks Carl & Basraj, will check and update.

Also check this Centinel tool which will reboot only after the users are off.
