I had heard that a "late 6.3" version client would force a reboot, apparently
following the prerequisite MS packages.
A co-worker had installed 6.3.x on a file server (Win Server 2008) and didn't
know it was going to boot while he went for a coffee refill during the install.
He had several calls from staff that got clobbered due to the reboot.
But, this morning I installed the 6.4.0 client without any reboot on Win Server
2008. The client installer DID install the Microsoft packages. The machine
happens to also have TSM Monitoring/Admin 6.3.1 installed. Perhaps the
Microsoft packages were already there, and updated, which maybe doesn't force a
reboot???

Subject: [ADSM-L] Client 6.4 installation causing Win Server 2012 to restart?
Hello all,
I started the installation of TSM Client version 6.4 on one of our new Windows
Server 2012 servers and went to do other things while waiting on the
installation to finish.
When I went back to the server after about ~5 minutes I realized that the TSM
Client installation hade restarted the machine, without installing the client
yet, causing angry phonecalls from concerned users.
I figure that the installation of the "prerequisite" Microsoft packages is the
reason behind this? Has anyone here experienced this before? I've searched
through various installation notes from TSM regarding the 6.4 client but I
havent really found anything indicating this.
I have installed 5 or 6 clients on other Windows Server 2012 machines and
numerous of older TSM clients on other servers without experiencing this
before. The concerned server is used as an TS-server.
