There's a risk associated with this approach in a multi-controller environment. If one of your controllers has an unplanned reboot between the time you complete your prep and the time of the scheduled reboot you will have one controller on a different version from the others. The likelihood of that happening is probably very low, but it could result in major service interruption so I don't think it's worth the risk.

Then just schedule a reboot through airwave. Click on device reboot and set a time. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
