When update server or cumulative update in case of exchange updates you can get this error :
A reboot from a previous installation is pending. Please restart the system and then rerun Setup
The Server is reading the following registry keys to determine whether a system restart is required after installation or removal of a software update such as a security update, critical update, or hotfix.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\UpdateExeVolatile HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations
The Solution is :
To remove an orphaned UpdateExeVolatile registry key value
- Open a registry editor, such as Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe.
- Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\
- In the right navigation pane, double-click the UpdateExeVolatile key.
- Configure the key with a value of 0
- Close Registry Editor.
To delete the orphaned PendingFileRenameOperations registry key
-
Open a registry editor, such as Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe.
- Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\
- In the right navigation pane, right-click the PendingFileRenameOperations key and select Delete.
- Close Registry Editor.
