Scenario: We just rolled out Intune to 1,300 desktops. Can you prevent the computers from automatically restarting after they install the agent?

The behavior we are trying to prevent is the "Restart Later" box is greyed out, so the user does not have a choice to delay the automatic restart when their computer is first enrolled in Intune.

There are two policies in Intune that appear like they might influence the restart behavior, but these do not appear to allow the "Restart Later" box to be selectable:

"Allow logged on user to control Windows restart after installation of scheduled updates and applications" (Yes or No)

"Prompt user to restart Windows during Intune client agent mandatory updates" (Yes or No)

 

I believe if you have updates set with a deadline, that once that deadline hits the restart later box is automatically greyed out. I have some users complain about this, but if I don't set a deadline the updates will never get installed.

I would really love to know the answer to this because we are having constant problems and complaints because of this.
