Use TS to put machine into 'pending restart' state
Hi I am using the TS to install some software that at the ends requires a reboot. However, I don't want to reboot it then, I want to place it into a 'reboot pending' state much like WSUS updates. I can then run a SCCM report to list all machines with this software installed but in a 'pending restart' state so we can plan for a mass reboot at an off peak time. Is this possible with the TS? Thanks

well you can use a ts to deploy windows updates that require a reboot but the /norestart option is included (however, i know that sometimes the task sequence, or the update, or windows ignores this switch... My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

Thanks for your reply but it doesn't really answer what I needed. I would like to put the machine into a pending reboot state using a TS do that it can tracked by a SCCM report. Is this possible?

not in any way that i'm aware of as that would mean the task sequence was unfinished or failed. My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady
