Reboot Prompt Nag Dialog
If this setting is set to
On,
a dialog box is displayed on the
managed device to remind the user that a reboot is required to complete the update. By default,
the setting is set to
On
, and the dialog box displays every 15 minutes.
Reboot Prompt Max Postpone
This setting specifies how many times the user can postpone
the reboot if one is required for the update. If you select
On
for the
Reboot Prompt Nag Dialog
setting, the user is prompted before a reboot occurs. The user can then postpone the reboot.
Select
Unlimited
to let the user postpone the reboot an unlimited number of times. Or, Select
Limit
, then specify a number to let the user postpone the reboot the specified number of times.
By default, the user can postpone the reboot five times.
NOTE:
Because this feature was added after localization for non-English-languages, there is
no translation available for the string required to indicate to the user that they have a limited
number of postpone attempts. In the event that a localized string is unavailable for the local
language (this will be the case for all non-English languages), this setting is ignored, and the
user is allowed an unlimited number of postpones. You can remedy this limitation by setting
the
REBOOT_MSG_POSTPONES_REMAINING
string in the registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Novell\ZCM\SystemUpdate
using {0} to indicate the
number of postpones remaining.
Reboot Prompt Timeout
When an update is assigned with the
Prompt User for Reboot
option,
the default behavior is to wait five minutes for a response from the user and, in the absence of a
response, automatically initiate the reboot. Select
No Timeout
to display the dialog box until the
user responds, without initiating the reboot. Or, select
Timeout after _ mins
, then specify the
number of minutes to wait for the reboot response before initiating the reboot.
Reboot Prompt Nag Time
When an update assigned with the
Suppress Reboot
option, or if a
user chooses to cancel a required reboot, a dialog box displays to remind the user that a reboot
is required to complete the update. By default, the dialog box displays every 15 minutes. This
setting lets the administrator define how often the prompt is presented to users.
Specify this value in minutes.
Update Watcher Icon
You can specify a different icon that displays on the managed device’s
notification area of the system tray. The path to the file must resolve on the managed device. If
the file does not exist, or if the file in not a valid
.ico
file, the default icon displays.
Agent Message Overrides
You can provide custom text for Agent System Update messages
that display in dialog boxes during the update. Click
Add
to display the Edit Agent System
Update Message dialog box. Select a Message Key from the drop-down list, type the desired
text, then click
OK
.
You can also remove and edit custom messages that you have created.
