You have the following options when shutting down Windows:

action and choose Restart from the pull-down menu.

the Start —> Shut Down action and choose Shut down from the pull-down menu.
To reboot a halted server you must power on the server using the PC command at the
iLO MP Command menu.
• To abort a shutdown (stop a shutdown that has been initiated): shutdown /a.
For example: shutdown /r /t 60 /c "Shut down in one minute."
This command initiates a Windows system shutdown and reboot after a timeout period
of 60 seconds. The /c option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users
of the server.
