I just created the task in the task scheduler  to run every hour gave it the highest privileges and then exported the task to the other computers and added it so they are all the same.. seems to work very well as a workaround to make sure it always runs..

there must be an error in your script because I added it as you said and they do  show it he task manager but fail to work. What I did instead was to just create a task to start the Host every hour to insure that it is working and that works.. Great Idea you had, not sure why the script isnt working but hay it gave me a idea that helped.  I just hope that the triggering to start the host does not create a problem if its already running?

This is Very awsome of you to do and appreciate it BUT when I run the install I get my antivirus blocking it saying its a Adware install virus.. Im sure it it not but Im not sure why it is doing this?

I just added it in a folder and ran it as admin, testing it out right now will leave update after litttle while..thanks

I too am interested in the outcome here.

We have been forced to run dual remote access applications on all systems to account for when RU does not start the host. It is very frequent in my case, and it is not limited only to reboots after a windows update. Regular reboots where no updates take place [Such as on Server 2008 R2 machines] result in this behavior too.

We have a little shy of 500 hosts in our network, so it is common for us to not realise that a host has not started right after a reboot.

It seems that RU needs a watchdog service that can restart the host if it is not running. Although it is another moving part, maybe a simple service of this type would be able to keep the host online.

That is exactly what is happening us too.. you are 100% correct , it needs a watchdog to insure it is running...You said it perfect..
