Shutting Down and Restarting Devices
This Article Applies to:
- AVG Business Cloud Console
When you change an assigned policy, subscription, or update the virus definitions or Antivirus program, you may need to restart the device so the change takes effect. For this task, you can choose an option for when the warning message to users is displayed and decide if the shutdown happens immediately, is scheduled to happen later, and if it recurs on a regular basis.
Shutting Down Devices
- Go to the Devices page
- Do one of the following:
- For a single device, click the actions menu (three dots) next to it
- For multiple devices, tick the checkboxes next to them, then hover over the More menu in the top right corner
- Select Shut down
- Choose between the following two options:
- Shut down now: Performs the shutdown task immediately (i.e. as soon as the device syncs with the console)
- You can allow the user to postpone the shutdown for up to 8 hours by ticking the respective checkbox.
- Shut down at a specific time: Allows you to choose the day of the week and the time of the day when the one-time shutdown task will be performed
- You can allow the user to postpone the shutdown for up to 8 hours by ticking the respective checkbox.
Note that some devices might miss a scheduled shutdown due to time zone differences. For instance, if at 8 a.m. you schedule a restart for 9 a.m. that same day and a device's time zone is two hours ahead, the device will not be shut down.
- Shut down now: Performs the shutdown task immediately (i.e. as soon as the device syncs with the console)
- Click Shut down
The user will be notified 5 minutes before the restart.
