Edenost Posted November 18, 2013 Report post Posted November 18, 2013 Hi there, Sorry if this has been answered already, but I cannot find it. I have recently upgraded to SCCM 2012 R2 from SP1 (Following Anyweb's guide (thanks!!)). Anyway, I am reluctant to deploy the new client just yet, as I need to know the answer to just a couple of questions. Firstly, will it reboot the client to finish the install of the upgrade? When I installed SP1 and the new client went around, the entire place rebooted!!! lol. Not good. Secondly, is there a way to just release it to say, a group of PC's? I use the Sofware-Update based install generally. Thanks Phil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edenost Posted November 18, 2013 Report post Posted November 18, 2013 Never mind, I sorted it. I just ran the upgrade client from the server manually, worked fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iroqouiz Posted November 19, 2013 Report post Posted November 19, 2013 For others who are wondering: 1. No, the client installation does not require a reboot. 2. Check here for ways to deploy the client. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712298.aspx 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edenost Posted November 19, 2013 Report post Posted November 19, 2013 I have since deployed the client to ALL systems on the network, and so far not one (including servers) has rebooted, so it's all good it seems . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edenost Posted November 19, 2013 Report post Posted November 19, 2013 Just another update. The SCCM Client update has been deployed for close to 24 hours now. In that time, only ONE client has rebooted, for the reason in the above link I listed. It was an Administrator's computer as well!! Tsk tsk lol.
