Remote Reboot X 1.5 has been released
Install Windows updates and reboot many remote computers simultaneously with real-time monitoring.
Remote Reboot X is an application that I initially created to reboot a large number of remote computers simultaneously, while being able to monitor their statuses in real-time. However, I soon added functionality to handle the installation of Microsoftiexcl;macr;s Windows software updates on the remote computers as well. If youiexcl;macr;re wondering what the X in RemoteRebootX means, itiexcl;macr;s simply a way to signify the number of machines that are being rebooted. When 22 hosts are added to the application, the title bar will display iexcl;oRemoteRebootX22iexcl;aring; or Remote Reboot times 22, for example.
Why I created it
My original goal was simpleiexcl; I wanted to learn .NETiexcl;. However, what kept me motivated throughout the learning process was the fact that I had a real goal in minduml;C to eventually make a monthly task at my job easier and less stressful. I work as a systems administrator for a software and consulting firm where I have a one-hour window once per month to install Microsoftiexcl;macr;s Windows software updates on no less than 100 servers, reboot the servers, and then verify that theyiexcl;macr;ve come back online properly. In order to handle so many servers in such a short period of time, the process simply had to be automated. However, I couldniexcl;macr;t find an existing application to do what I wanted, so I decided to create my own.
