I need a solution
We are a large K-12 shool district and use the Altiris Deployment Center. Here's our problem.
When we attempt to run a job through Altiris that requires the machine to restart, the computer will not restart if the screensaver is active. The screen saver will continue to run until you manually hit a key or move the mouse, at which time you will see the "Windows is shutting down..." bitmap. This will also complete the restart sequence and the machine will reboot. Since the screen saver nornally isn't active when you manually restart a computer, I'm sure this is a WinXP screen saver issue.
Has anyone else faced this or do you have a solution?
