Hello,

Is there a way, in the DataMiner Microsoft connector, to get the ‘reboot required’ status i.e. after installing patches. I believe this info is available via the WMI.

Thank you!

Best regards,

Pawel.

Hi Pawel,

I believe that this “reboot required” is logged as an event in the Event Viewer, and the DataMiner driver has a capability to read the events from the Event Viewer, and you can put in a key word to pick up on messages that you are interested in (e.g. disk crash, reboot, etc.).   There are some pre-defined key words that you can select from, but you can enter your own.  So this is probably a matter of checking the exact keyword needed to identify this, and setting it up.

Hi Pawel, you can find more information about the events related to “Windows Update installations” in the following link from Microsoft:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-r2-and-2008/cc735621(v=ws.10)

The events that can be used to track required reboots are:

– Event 21: Reboot required: To complete the installation of the following updates, the computer must be restarted. Until this computer has been restarted, Windows cannot search for or download new updates: %1

– Event 22: Restart required: To complete the installation of the following updates, the computer will be restarted within %1 minutes: %2
