How can we improve the SMA?

Reason for reboot on patching for Windows Server Shutdown Event Tracker

It would be excellent if the KACE Agent would log the reason for the reboot on Windows Server machines. Even if it just told the Shutdown event tracker that the KACE Agent rebooted, it would prevent the popup when I log into the server and would make my event log pretty. I believe this could be done very easily if the KACE agent calls shutdown.exe on the Windows machines.

    This is extremely important, and really easy to implement. Please do this.

    I would like to see this too. I have a small team and we all know when patches happen but I would prefer we didn't see the unexpected shutdown error. And I have far too many servers to manually reboot them.

    This feature would be very easy to add, and should have been built in all along.
