Restart Pending

Hello,

Has anyone come up with a WMI query that determines if a system has a
pending restart waiting in the wings, following Windows Update?

I know the CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.SystemInfo"), but I'm looking to
query these systems remotely.

Thanks
Brad

There are quite a few cmd utils to detect it; however if you want to WMI
script it you can use WMI to check for the existence of
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations" which I believe is a REG_MULTI_SZ

Which is what most of the cmd utils check to see if a reboot is
pending/needed.

Perhaps...
<script>
On Error Resume Next

Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Const REG_MULTI_SZ = 7

strComputer = "."

Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

strKeyPath = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager"
strValueName = "PendingFileRenameOperations"

oReg.GetMultiStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,arrValues

If Not IsNull(arrValues) Then
For Each strValue In arrValues
Wscript.Echo strValue
Next
Else
Wscript.Echo "No Pending Reboot"
End If

</script>
