Policy CSP - ADMX_Reliability
Tip
This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.
The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_Reliability/EE_EnablePersistentTimeStamp
This policy setting allows the system to detect the time of unexpected shutdowns by writing the current time to disk on a schedule controlled by the Timestamp Interval.
If you enable this policy setting, you are able to specify how often the Persistent System Timestamp is refreshed and subsequently written to the disk. You can specify the Timestamp Interval in seconds.
If you disable this policy setting, the Persistent System Timestamp is turned off and the timing of unexpected shutdowns isn't recorded.
If you don't configure this policy setting, the Persistent System Timestamp is refreshed according the default, which is every 60 seconds beginning with Windows Server 2003.
Note
This feature might interfere with power configuration settings that turn off hard disks after a period of inactivity. These power settings may be accessed in the Power Options Control Panel.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_Reliability/ShutdownEventTrackerStateFile
This policy setting defines when the Shutdown Event Tracker System State Data feature is activated.
The system state data file contains information about the basic system state as well as the state of all running processes.
If you enable this policy setting, the System State Data feature is activated when the user indicates that the shutdown or restart is unplanned.
If you disable this policy setting, the System State Data feature is never activated.
If you don't configure this policy setting, the default behavior for the System State Data feature occurs.
Note
By default, the System State Data feature is always enabled on Windows Server 2003. See "Supported on" for all supported versions.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_Reliability/ShutdownReason
The Shutdown Event Tracker can be displayed when you shut down a workstation or server. This is an extra set of questions that's displayed when you invoke a shutdown to collect information related to why you are shutting down the computer.
If you enable this setting and choose "Always" from the drop-down menu list, the Shutdown Event Tracker is displayed when the computer shuts down.
If you enable this policy setting and choose "Server Only" from the drop-down menu list, the Shutdown Event Tracker is displayed when you shut down a computer running Windows Server. (See "Supported on" for supported versions).
If you enable this policy setting and choose "Workstation Only" from the drop-down menu list, the Shutdown Event Tracker is displayed when you shut down a computer running a client version of Windows. (See "Supported on" for supported versions).
If you disable this policy setting, the Shutdown Event Tracker isn't displayed when you shut down the computer.
If you don't configure this policy setting, the default behavior for the Shutdown Event Tracker occurs.
