EPpatch.msi install without reboot?

[Gareth_somers]

Hi Checkmates,

We have a number of legacy desktops that have Endpoint E80.96 and we have to push out the EPpatch.msi before we can upgrade them to E85.10. However the patch is forcing a reboot, so as the patch is being pushed out via SCCM with the /silent switch, the end user just sees the device reboot out of nowhere. Passing the /norestart or REBOOT= ReallySurpress options does not seem to alter this behavior. 

So just wondering if anyone has pushed out the patch via SCCM/GPO without it rebooting the end device and if so how was it done?

Thanks!

Possible this reboot may be unavoidable.
@Eyal_Magidish can you comment on this?

That is true, reboot is not mandatory and should not occur.

Please make sure you are using the latest version of EPpatch.msi
