reboot after deploy

when deploying the av to clients, where is the setting to force the computer to install after deployment is done?

i have seen this option with kaspersky but i'm unable to find it in the enterprise console.

    As one example of why a restart is recommended at the end of the install for the AV component....

    Sophos uses the AppInit_DLLs key to inject a dll into processes as they start, this hook is used for data contol, buffer over-run and a few other things.

    If you install SAV for the first time, browsers are typically open, lots of processes that would be hooked are already running, these processes would therefore not get the hook as they have alrady started pre Sophos.  The simplest way to cover all processes is to request a restart of the computer as it's the only way to guarantee 100% coverage without being very specific in the messaging.

    This is just one example.
