Mine isn’t as complex as this, but it only checks for pending reboots from
Windows Update. It wouldn’t be hard to add the other pending reboot location
in there as well.
$reboot
=Test-Path
'hklm:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update\RebootRequired'
if ($reboot
-eq 'True'){Restart-Computer
localhost -force}ELSE {}
This is the command I push out to use it. I ran into issues with 32 vs. 64 bit
powershell and hitting different parts of registry.
%systemroot%\sysnative\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -executionpolicy
unrestricted .\NeedReboot.ps1

Subject: [mssms] Reboot servers pending a reboot prior to updates
I want to advertise a script to servers during our maintenance window, 30mins
prior to the updates deadline, that will check for reboots pending on the box
and if there are any, reboot it.
I’ve found the get-rebootpending PS script here:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-PendingReboot-Query-bdb79542#content
but it’s unclear to me whether this will pickup reboots pending from new
device installs, which is important to us. Someone asks for this functionality
in the comments
but it’s never subsequently mentioned. There also doesn’t appear to be anyway
to use this script to trigger a reboot if one is pending.
Is anyone else using something similar?
Daniel.
