From time to time, you will notice that when you deploy a package from LANDesk or SCCM, it will fail. This failure may be due to a pending reboot.
The reboot status is located in the following reg keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\LANDesk\ManagementSuite\WinClient\VulscanReboot

If you’re looking to start a LANDesk deployment, without rebooting, delete the contents in those keys.
Alternatively, you can set the agent from the LANDesk management suite to ignore pending reboots.
1 – Open the Agent’s Distribution and Patch settings.
2 – Navigate to Patch-only settings | Install/remove options.
3 – Click the checkbox that says Start repair even if Reboot is already pending.
4 – Click Save.
* If you have individual agent profiles set up, you may just be able to select a non-reboot profile for a specific computer. That is under Task, Properties, Agent settings.
