How do you do a coldboot with testcomplete

i'm trying to do performance test with testcomplete (perhaps not the best idea since it's consuming ressources i'm testing). I must find a way to stop the machine, wait for 5 seconds then restart the machine. This is what is call a coldboot test. i can do this with c# coding and magic packet with and an external application, but is there a way to do it with test complete. There seems to be many function to reboot, mais no function to start once shutdown.

 

Thanks for your help.

      Wow, That's wonderful,but it is not able to login into computer (after restart I need to press - Ctrl+Alt + Del, then enter credential). this operation is not doing below statement -

       

      aqEnvironment.RebootAndContinue("Unit2.t1", "myPassword", "MyUserId", "MyDonain")

        I assume you've met the requirements outlined in the article, yes?

         

        Unless someone else out in Forum land has some good ideas, open up a support case and we can continue the investigation.

    Hi,

     

    I think you may use - Sys.Restart

     

    in TestComplete for restart machine.
