7855 - Schedule Reboot - PowerShell

[Andyyy41]

Hi all. Not sure if this is the right place to ask. I have a fleet of 70+ 7855's and I want to schedule a reboot over the weekend automatically. I found a code for PowerShell to do this, but it doesn't seem to work.

$CookieContainer = New-Object System.Net.CookieContainer

function SendGET([string]$url)
{
[net.httpWebRequest] $req = [net.webRequest]::create($url);
$req.Method = "GET";
$req.Accept = "text/html";
$req.CookieContainer = $CookieContainer;
[net.httpWebResponse] $res = $req.getResponse();
$resst = $res.getResponseStream();
$sr = new-object IO.StreamReader($resst);
$result = $sr.ReadToEnd();
return $result;
}




function SendPOST([string]$url, [string]$data)
{
$buffer = [text.encoding]::ascii.getbytes($data)
[net.httpWebRequest] $req = [net.webRequest]::create($url)
$req.method = "POST"
$req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
$req.ContentLength = $buffer.length
$req.KeepAlive = $true
$req.CookieContainer = $CookieContainer
$reqst = $req.getRequestStream()
$reqst.write($buffer, 0, $buffer.length)
$reqst.flush()
$reqst.close()
[net.httpWebResponse] $res = $req.getResponse()
$resst = $res.getResponseStream()
$sr = new-object IO.StreamReader($resst)
$result = $sr.ReadToEnd()
$res.close()
return $result;
}




# Request to get session id
$x = SendGET ("http://10.64.135.52/properties/authentication/login.php");
# Post login to get new session id
$x = SendPOST ("http://10.64.135.52/userpost/xerox.set") ("_fun_function=HTTP_Authenticate_fn&NextPage=%2Fproperties%2Fauthentication%2FluidLogin.php&webUsername=admin&webPassword=1111&frmaltDomain=default");


# Post reboot command with loggedin session id
$x = SendPOST ("http://10.64.135.52/userpost/xerox.set") ("_fun_function=HTTP_Machine_Reset_fn&NextPage=/status/rebooted.php");

Firstly, anyone PowerShell savvy know why? PS just says completed, but the machine is still on. Secondly, is there another way? I can'y seem to find one, but i haven't asked here yet.

Any help much appreciated.

Program the machines to do a weekly on demand image overwrite on the weekend. Once its complete, the machines will reboot. You can set that in admin tools.

hi
sorry if this is pointing out the obvious - are your devices still configured with default passwords??

Yeah they are. Hence why i put them in the script. The HDD wipe seems to be doing the trick at the moment, so thank you.
