However now -
I have about 6 sites called in about this same issue.

is there a way to write a script to restart the PC's tonight after hours to update this so the issue goes away?

@WrCombs Yes easily with powershell and the Windows task system. Write your powershell to restart the computers. Use the task scheduler to run it at whatever time you want. It has a wizard to guide you through it.

shutdown /r /f /t 36000 will reboot in ten hours. Adjust to your needs.

Do you have a remote access solution for these machines?

If not, Mesh Central might be a real life saver - then you could remote in and run these commands. No driving required.

What do you meant "Remote access solution"?
if the question is "DO i have remote access" ?
then the answer is yes .
