Engaged Sweeper II

Hi,

We have a number of machines which are on 24/7 due to hotdesking and the nature of our business. However, these machines are never rebooted, so they are behind on patching. I wanted to see if there was a way to detect if a machine was just sitting at the logon screen (i.e. username/password prompt) for a period of time (say 2 hours) and if so, reboot that machine so it applies pending updates/patches.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Since Lansweeper scans on a schedule, it may not be ideal for this task. Lansweeper will scan the currently logged-in user, but it does not perform "real-time" monitoring.

Furthermore, even if you could report on it, you would have to trigger the reboot via deployment manually. In my opinion, this task would be best served by an RMM tool rather than Lansweeper.
