I suppress reboots on software updates and then I run a custom program to
notify the user and reboot the computer.
This has been working pretty well, but I recently ran into a problem with this.
I had some computers that ended up in a "Hard Reboot was found pending" state
and on those computers, SCCM forced a reboot before it would allow my Reboot
package to run. Basically, it rebooted the client so that the reboot checker
Program could run.
What is a HARD REBOOT pending state? I have not run into that before.
Normally, my check for reboot and notify script is allowed to run even if a
client is in a pending reboot state. This Hard Reboot pending is a new one on
me. It is forcing the computer to reboot before any other package is allowed
to run- Even if I have all packages set to suppress reboot or "program
controls reboots" I suppose there is no way to tell SCCM to ignore HARD
REBOOT PENDING states and just let a package run.
Hmmm.....
ProgramID="Reboot for patches" <----This is my custom reboot notifier. It
kicked off to notify the user a reboot was needed. But before it was allowed
to run, SCCM wanted to reboot the client to get the client ready to run it.
