Use cases
Any IT task that has to wait for the person at the keyboard follows the same pattern. These are the most common ones.
Pending restarts
An update is staged but can't finish until the machine restarts, and that restart waits on the person using it. AdminRelay shows the pending restart, the user restarts now or picks a time, and the reboot happens when they confirm. This is the workflow AdminRelay ships with.
Installs that need apps closed
Some installs and upgrades fail while Outlook or Teams is open, or close the app and lose unsaved work. AdminRelay tells the user what is being installed, they save and close when it suits them, and the installer runs once they confirm.
Changes on executives' machines
A five-minute change on a director's laptop usually means booking time with someone who has none to spare. AdminRelay gives them a branded prompt they can act on whenever they are free, so nobody has to set up a meeting.
Security and endpoint agents
Rolling out an EDR sensor, VPN client, or compliance agent interrupts everyone briefly. AdminRelay tells each user what is being installed and why, lets them pick the time, and installs it when they confirm, so coverage doesn't depend on chasing people.
Reclaiming unused licenses
A paid seat can sit unused for months. Instead of uninstalling it blindly, AdminRelay asks the user whether they still need it. The seat is released only when they confirm, and a No can run its own script, such as flagging the seat for review.
Planned maintenance
Driver rollouts, re-imaging prep, or anything that takes a device offline goes better when the user knows before it starts. AdminRelay announces it, the user wraps up and confirms, and the maintenance script runs then.
