Reboot Countdown Timer

Question
-
Hi,
Does the Reboot countdown Timer behave differently when there is no-one logged onto the machine - e.g during a machine build?
We have it set for a 4 hour countdown, but I have heard that it may be a different countdown time (shorter I assume) if noone is logged onto the machine during initial build of a machine? But I have been unable to get confirmation on this?
Does anyone know if this is correct?
Thanks

To my knowledge if user is not logged in Reboot starts immediately otherwise it will wait specified time.I have tested this in my enviornment.
cheers!

To my knowledge the count is the same not matter if there is a user is logon or not.

I thought so too, but I had a team member ask me the question and as I couldn't give (or get) a definitive answer I decided to run a test myself. What I found was that when no user is logged in, the reboot happens immediately...
I would be great if someone could confirm this?
