Issue/Introduction

After a Managed Delivery Policy post-reboot action, each user connects to the server using RDP is prompted to restart the server.

Cause

The default time to check for a reboot is 5 minutes after the system begins booting up. If the agent doesn't start during the first 5 minutes, it does not clear the notificationlist.xml file of the reboot flag, and another user logging on will get a reboot prompt.
