Patching questions - Unwanted differences between 2007 and 2012

[StueyT]

Hi all,

 

When it comes to patching via 2012, there are a couple of things differently between 2007 and 2012 regarding the end-user's experience.

Firstly, although I select 'Hide all display notifications' during the creation of a deployment, the end-user will receive notifications to restart once the patching has been carried out. This never used to happen in 2007, where they got absolutely no status messages or restart requests - It was completely silent. Is there any way to hide the restart prompts?

Secondly, should a user be prompted for a restart after their machine is patched and they choose to click 'cancel', their machine will reboot itself at 03:15:10 the next morning. Is their any way to stop this, or modify the time, or even prevent it if a user is logged in at that time?

 

Cheers in advance
