(SP1) will not restart the client computer automatically. It prevents pending important
updates from being installed successfully on these computers. More investigation indicates that the value of the following registry key is greater than 0 on the affected client computers: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Sms\Mobile

running based on the JobCounter value.
