So, the answer to the problem (of msiexec still returning 3010) would be to wrap the command in a batch file, and after the call to msiexec.exe, just do: exit 0. That should prevent the ConfigMgr client, or the task sequence engine, from automatically restarting the computer when it sees a 3010. As far as I know, this would normally only happen from a task sequence, but it's worth testing as an Application or Package/Program as well.

If your clients go extended periods of time without rebooting their systems, this can become very problematic. The /norestart or REBOOT=ReallySuppress doesn't keep msiexec from returning a 3010 and flagging a pending reboot action, it just prevents msiexec itself from initiating the reboot. So I guess tread carefully with suppressing the reboots this way. -Phil From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Sandys Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 11:41 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] Computer Restart Three things to note here: - It's REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS not /REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS The slash would mean that REBOOT is a switch for msiexec which it is not; it's a public property that the MSI itself uses to dictate the reboot behavior (this leads to the next point) - It's the MSI itself that dictates the reboot based upon the value of this property which can actually be overridden by a custom action or explicit setting of the value within the MSI itself or perhaps not even honored if the MSI itself wished not to reboot or force a reboot despite this setting. - /norestart was added with Windows Installer 3.0 and thus is just not commonly used. It is exactly equivalent to REBOOT=ReallySuppress J From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Ratliff Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 9:40 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] Computer Restart I remember when this issue was first reported, and I have always wondered, why use /REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS when you could just as easily use /norestart? Is there a difference from an .msi perspective?
