Computer

Description

The Computer action allows the ability to automate various Windows start menu power button functions such as Lock, Restart, Shut down, Log off, Suspend and Hibernate. For added security, administrators could create and deploy tasks that force the system to log off at a certain time during the evening or lock the workstation upon task completion. Tasks that perform automated installations that require a Windows restart can include a step at the end of the task to restart the system upon completion. Power saving routines can be automated on certain computers or servers with implementation of the hibernate/suspend activity. In addition, a Display activity is included to allow automated adjustments to the current display settings of a system.
