Landesk 9.5 SP2, Mix of Windows 7 Pro and Enterprise, 32 and 64 but.
We push software and patches out silently and follow up with a weekly reboot based on query of machines that require a reboot. Inventory, Landesk, reboot switch =1.The first several
weeks, I have done this during the day - and I see feedback regarding reboot like I would expect. Users defer (as we have allowed in out agent), machines rebooted, machines off. It
appears to work fine. BTW, most patches go out SILENTLY.
But now we have a question. We see the reboot happening with all the notifications we would expect. But I'm not sure if the Landesk switch is really resetting on a machine that gets
rebooted.
I assume something here - namely, A machine that needs rebooting according to this Landesk switch, if it's off, when the reboot is pushed out, will just clear this switch when it comes on and reports in.
But it's not just formerly off machines. it appears that machines that need a reboot get it, and the switch isn't clearing, so they will get it again . . . and again . . and again.
I expect to see some "unscheduled" activity that is part of a policy from a previous push. But it
looks like I am seeing machines that don't get this switch cleared.
Thanks for the help. BTW, I'm bad at closing out questions when answered. it's frustrating because in Firefox, I only see option to reply to a thread or mark a response helpful.
