I can tell you from experience that if you are upgrading to 4.1.x client on
an NT 4.0 machine you will need to reboot. Starting with 4.1.x they use the
w2k installer and this requires a reboot after the installation of the w2k
installer before it installs the client. On w2k clients a reboot is not
required.

Subject: Reboot during NT client upgrade
My site is about to upgrade its Windows NT client systems to 4.1.2.12.
We are starting with the ones that currently have 3.1.0.6 client code,
and will subsequently upgrade the ones with various service levels of
the 3.7 code. We currently have to plan every upgrade to allow for the
possibility of rebooting the client. One of the Windows NT administrators
has observed that life would be a lot easier if we could predict in
advance whether the client upgrade on a specific system would require
a reboot or not. Is there any way to do this?
