Reboot Aborted

I have a task setup to simply reboot any computer in the Reboot Required collection. The package has the option set to Always run for the logged on state. I have the schedule to set to deselect the option to stop deploying once succeeded. The issue I am having is more that ⅔ of the targets are reporting back with a status of failed and the error aborted. I know for a fact that ⅔ of the computers here did not have a user abort the reboot at 8:00pm on a Friday night. Double clicking on any of the failed workstations doesn't reveal any additional information. Any ideas as to why I am seeing so many failures?

Same thing is happening to me. And it's not consistent. I deployed a package with a reboot step to 8 servers recently. 7 failed on the reboot step (aborted), however 4 of the servers DID in fact reboot.

Looks like it's time to eliminate the reboot step, and instead perform the reboot as a script function, because I can't trust the PDQ reboot function.

If you haven't already, please update to Deploy 17.2.0.0.

If that doesn't help, please contact support@pdq.com.
