How to perform Reboots after SW Deployment

How to perform Reboots after SW Deployment

Hello,

First: I am working with DesktopCentral for over one year by now, so I am not completely new.

Still there are some point that do now work as I expect, so I would like to know, how to achieve the following two cases:

How to tell the client to reboot, when the setup itself does not require this; I want to reboot the client anyway!


1. Prompt user to reboot after SW install

I know I can set this in the "deployment policy": "Prompt for reboot" & let user skip the reboot.
What I am looking for: I want to prompt for a reboot, even if it is not required by the SW install or patch deployment!

I have not been able to achieve this. The reboot prompt ONLY appears, when a reboot is required by the setup routine/patch...


2. Force a reboot after install

This is a similar scenario as in case #1, but I would like to be able to FORCE a reboot (without asking the user and without the option to skip), even when the setup does not requiere this.

I have not been able to achieve this. The reboot is ONLY executed/forces, when a reboot is required by the setup routine/patch...


Can you please give me an advice, how to achieve this?
