<# .TITLE Reboot Pending Remediation Script .SYNOPSIS Schedules a restart with a visible user warning on devices that have a pending reboot. .DESCRIPTION Schedules a system restart after a configurable delay (default 4 hours) using shutdown.exe with a warning message, giving the user time to save work. If a restart is already scheduled the script leaves it in place. Paired with detect-reboot-pending.ps1 which triggers only for devices that carry a pending reboot beyond the uptime threshold. .TAGS Remediation,Action .REMEDIATIONTYPE Remediation .PAIRSCRIPT detect-reboot-pending.ps1 .PLATFORM Windows .MINROLE Intune Service Administrator .PERMISSIONS DeviceManagementManagedDevices.ReadWrite.All .AUTHOR Ugur Koc .VERSION 1.0 .CHANGELOG 1.0 - Initial release .LASTUPDATE 2026-07-20 .EXAMPLE .\remediate-reboot-pending.ps1 Schedules a restart in 4 hours with a user-visible warning .NOTES - Runs in SYSTEM context via Intune Remediations - Adjust $DelaySeconds to fit maintenance windows; users see the Windows restart warning immediately - A user or admin can cancel the scheduled restart with: shutdown /a #> $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" # Delay before the restart fires (default 4 hours) $DelaySeconds = 14400 $Message = "Your IT department scheduled a restart to finish installing updates.
