Your computer is about to restart

[khawkins]

Hi,

 

I am hoping someone can help, I am deploying an .msi app to all users. It is a small msi but will require users to restart their machine. I am in no mad rush for them to restart, just whenever they get the chance will do.

 

The supplier of the msi has given me the command to install the app silently and how to suppress the reboot;

 

msiexec /i "PGClient_x64.msi" /qn /norestart

 

If I run this command manually, it will run silently and suppress the reboot. However I want to run this without any notifications on the clients machine.

 

I created the package and added the command to the install. In the collection, I set it to "required" and for the user experience I set it to "hide in Software Center and all notifications"

 

However at deployment, on the clients machine I get the prompt that "Your computer is about to restart" within 90mins.

 

Am I missing something simple? I don't want any notifications! lol

 

Thanks

Kevin

The ConfigMgr 2012 client reacts on the return code of the installation. When the installation returns a code like 3010, it means the installation needs a restart to complete and the client reacts on that. If you don't want that, then you can play with the Should Configuration Manager enforce specific behavior regardless of the application's intended behavior -setting in the User Experience -tab of the Deployment Type.

I face such a thing in my Environment , you can distribute this package using the same syntax as u made , but distribute it using the Old way of distribution "Packages and Programs" it wont force client to restart

There is no need to do that... Just set Should Configuration Manager enforce specific behavior regardless of the application's intended behavior to No specific action and that should do the trick.
