Reboot require after install the application from SCCM 2012 deployment
Hi team,
I have a application which is having 2 executable files.
1.exe and 2.exe , reboot is require after install every executable file. Please suggest me how can implement this.
Once reboot done (1st executable file installed and reboot), SCCM should start 2nd executable file.

Purely to provide the technical answer.
Have a look at SCCM Task Sequences. I know in SCCM 2007 you can "do something", reboot computer (after reboot SCCM knows to carry on with the Sequence), "do something again", reboot.
I had a deployment in the past which was quite complex due to *cough'sh*te'cough* vendor software which required about 3 reboots due uninstalls/installs etc.
In SCCM 2012 its slightly different as you have Task Sequences and Applicaiton Sequences. At a guess I would think the Task Sequences would suite your needs as it has the reboot function aval out of the box.
On a side note VBScab does raise a good point.
Secondly, I'd never EVER install an EXE to a client's estate. You need to know EXACTLY what an EXE is going to do to a workstation because, again, vendors are notorious for wreaking havoc by blindly walking over your carefully-crafted build! - anonymous_9363 10 years ago
