Sounds like they are fine then. They're not going to reboot unless they have to.

So what happens is out of the 29 test servers a hand full of them actually rebooted without issues, and the rest didn't reboot. When I looked at the updates that were installed, none of the updates needed a reboot, so the servers didn't ... at least that is my assumption at this point. If I am not mistaken, one of the servers only install Silverlight, which no reboot is required. Is CM programmed to reboot within that MW regardless? It seems to me it is supposed to reboot if the update tells CM to reboot.

When we did our trial run, I noticed that not all the servers rebooted. Upon further inspection it looks like the updates that were applied did not need to reboot the server. Just curious how others "force" a reboot (automatically), as it is always nice to reboot servers when you can, I was hoping that the MW would force a reboot regardless. But it seems once this happens I need to then go back in and see which ones did not reboot and manually do it. We don't have a lot so it is not too bad, but I am trying to automate it as much as possible. I don't have Orchestrator or anything that can do this. It would be nice I guess if you could force the reboot on the servers. Any tips, tricks or suggestions. KEVIN JOHNSTON
