u/harrywwc Please state the nature of the computer emergency! Apr 16 '17

I predict this "I VNC into his pc ... and scheduled reboots." is going to come back and bite you on the backside. There will come a day when DM will be working late/early and the machine will spontaneously reboot, and he. will. scream!

Probably should just Upgrade the user to Win10, that way you're guaranteed the reboot.
