SCS Kiosk Shutdown or Reboot (Restart)

You can remotely shutdown or restart the cs kiosks using a couple of methods:

Preferred method for restart

• login to najas.cs using your -adm login and password
• Right-click on My Network Places and choose "Search for Computers"
  • enter scspc147 (for the kiosk on the 1st floor)
  • or enter scspc022 (for the kiosk outside the CS office)
• double-click on the computer name
• double-click on "Scheduled Tasks"
• right-click on "Daily Restart" and choose "Run"
  • the restart will happen immediately

The reason this method is preferred is that the associated script resets all of the user configuration before restarting, thus assuring a clean environment when it comes back up.

Optional method for doing a shutdown or restart

• use remote desktop to:
  • scspc147.cs.uwaterloo.ca (for the kiosk on the 1st floor)
  • or scspc022.cs.uwaterloo.ca (for the kiosk outside the CS office)
• login with your -adm login and password (or cscf-adm)
• click on Start -> Windows Security
• select Shutdown or Restart as desired
