  • 1.  Auto reboot when pushing endpoint client?

    Posted Sep 07, 2010 03:10 PM
    Is it possible to have Endpoint reboot the system when its finished installing via a Push install? Right now I have been pushing a single Setup.exe out, but I would still like to use the Push client even if I have to use a MSI.

    Thanks

    When you push the package with Interactive Mode, it gives you 3 options > Do not Restart, Restart After 60 Minutes and Restart Now. User will have to choose from these options.

    If you Choose Silent Install, the option it Do not restart the computer.

    To create a new custom client installation configuration

    Open the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console.
    On the Admin Tab, under Tasks, click Install Packages.
    The current default client installation packages appear on the right.
    Under View Install Packages, click Client Install Settings.
    Under Tasks, click Add Client Install Settings.
    Specify the name you would like the custom Client Install Settings to have.
    Give the custom Client Install Settings a description.
    Select an installation type from the following:

    Silent        (No user input or display)

    Select Restart the computer after installation 
    Select the installation location (default or custom folder).
    Enable or disable installation logging.
    Select whether or not to add the program to the Start Menu.
    Select whether or not to maintain all previous logs, policies, and client-server communication settings.
    Click OK.
