SCCM application restart behavior

Question

I deployed an application from SCCM console, when I check the application in software center on the client, I see the status of restart required is Might be required, but the application is not need to restart after installation actually.

Can I make the status to not required during the deployment?

Answer 1

That's just informational, that doesn't dictate that a reboot WILL be required, post installation.

Usually, any application deployment the reboots are governed by "what the exit code says".

If the exit code of the installation is 0, CM will know that a reboot is not required. But if, for example, post-installation the exit code is 3010, CM by default knows that means "Success, but reboot required", and the behavior you elected to happen in that situation will be triggered (don't reboot immediately, or a reboot will be triggered in xx minutes, it's all choices you made usually early on in configuring your CM)

Basically, if whatever-it-is exits following installation with a "0", there won't be a reboot.

Hi, @woo hada

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

That is configured in deployment type properties User Experience options, like Sherry mentioned, the default option is Determine behavior based on return codes, so it shows Might required a reboot, if we select No specific action, software Center will report that no reboot is required.
