Is there a way to force a reboot after install?

Gort

I know that, technically, a reboot isn't required after pushing an install to a new machine but I also know that certain features aren't available until the system is restarted.

Is there a way within the Enterprise Console to configure remote installs to require a restart, or at least notify an end user that a reboot is requested?

    Hi,

    You can't force a reboot from a SEC deployment, but you could make the default to warn:

    To force the machine to reboot on install, I would probably do an AD start-up script which called setup.exe with the required parameters, I would then wait for the alupdate.exe process to finish, this would signify that all packages had been installed.  You could then initiate a reboot for the client by calling shutdown with the necessary parameters.

    Regards,

    Jak
