Screenshot
When the action is run, the following dialog box will open:
Recast Permissions
- This action requires the Cancel Shutdown permission in the System Information plugin.
Microsoft Permissions
- This action requires local administrator permissions on the remote devices. If using a Recast Server with service account, the service account will need local administrator permissions on the remote devices. This tool uses remote WMI.
This will only cancel shutdowns / restarts that are imminent. It will not clear shutdown / restart tasks in task scheduler.
