Hello
Why don't you install the updates within a logout script, rather than the
login script?
That way the user won't have to wait while the updates are being installed,
and you don't have to worry about removing the shutdown command.
Just my .02

Your probably going to see them just use the power button if you
did that anyways. And if they were missing a shutdown button, the
mentality of an end user, would probably be to call you or the
helpdesk trying to report a virus or at least wondering where it
went. Why don't you push the updates out when they login in the
morning. That's when most of the places I have seen do updates,
asset management, etc... The user logs on and goes for their
morning coffee. Or you could just send a memo saying to leave
their PC's on when they go home at night. ;)
Exactly. This is the way it supposed to be.
Little fixes go during the login process and bigger ones we do over
night/over weekend after writing an eMail to the users.
We kindly ask to leave their machines powered on or restart them and
if possible to switch on those machines from colleagues who are on
vaccation or for some other reason not available.
This works just fine :-)
bis dahin - kind regards
