Hi Phil, It's little tricky but you should be able to do that using the SCCM Package and Advertisement conditions. You should be able to write a script (wrapper) for the restart with a prompt to user and set the advertisment to re-run if failed. If user postpone the reboot exit it as a failed and if reboot then exit with success and create a file for logging.
I hope this helps.
