In case anyone is interested and didn't know, Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redist (version 10.0.40219.1) is now a prereq for the ConfigMgr 2012 R2 client (5.00.7958.1000) install, along with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redist (8.0.6100).

You'll find references to it in the ccmsetup.xml file located in c:\windows\ccmsetup. Also, on the ComfigMgr server, you'll find the prereq installers located in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\x64 or \x86 and the vcredist_x64.exe or vcredist_x86.exe is the 2010 redist.

The client prereq info located in the doc below is incorrect.

Just curious to see if anyone noticed their systems received this older update which subsequently forces a reboot? This seems apparent with the newer CM client install on systems after I upgraded to ConfigMgr 2012 R2 yesterday. Several end-users were upset with the forced reboot causing some work disruptions.
