I wish to prevent users from shutting down their computers on days they receive vulnerability scans and days patches are pushed by our local patch server.<\/p>\n
I know there is a GPO to prevent users from shutting down, restarting, etc., but I’m not seeing if/where the policy can be toggled for specific dates/times.<\/p>\n
If any of you lovely folks in the Spiceworks community can help a bro out with this dilemma that’d be super clutch!<\/p>\n

I would guess this would be a no. Nothing to stop them from pressing the power button. Have you looked into Wake On LAN?<\/p>","upvoteCount":3,"datePublished":"2019-05-09T14:15:35.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/can-you-prevent-users-from-shutting-down-on-specific-days/711198/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"rockn","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/rockn"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Policy is your best fix here, though WoL is a good option.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2019-05-09T14:34:31.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/can-you-prevent-users-from-shutting-down-on-specific-days/711198/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bryandoe","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/bryandoe"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Our newer devices have WOL, but plenty of our older devices unfortunately do not. :-/<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2019-05-09T14:35:13.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/can-you-prevent-users-from-shutting-down-on-specific-days/711198/4","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"renzojimenez","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/renzojimenez"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
It can’t be done. Instead, Control their computers by Wake On Lan, as Rockn said.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2019-05-09T14:37:29.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/can-you-prevent-users-from-shutting-down-on-specific-days/711198/5","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Internet_Schneider","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Internet_Schneider"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
How old is it for it not to have WOL ? Even my ancient crud has WOL…<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2019-05-09T19:00:59.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/can-you-prevent-users-from-shutting-down-on-specific-days/711198/6","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"furicle","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/furicle"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
