Deploy Reboot package fails instantly

Just trying to Reboot a PC with the Deploy Reboot step. Need to restart all our PC's on a schedule and it fails with no error with in a second. I also built a bat file with the shutdown -r -f and I run the bat file from a test PC and it works, but try and put the bat file in as a step and it fails? I tried setting it from pull to push, tried different deploy creds...im stumped.

  • My reboot package looks exactly like yours except I have 1 second before reboot vs 30.  On the Package options, who is the Run As?
