To actually answer your question, I have not tried configuring the app deployment type to 'Configuration Manager client will force a device restart' because to me that sounded like the client would immediately force a reboot regardless of the return code,īut I only wanted the computer to reboot if the application installation returned the '3010' code (it can return others), and thus the default of 'Determine behavior based on return codes' seemed the most appropriate option.

It was just confusing to me that Software Center displayed the 'restart required' status yet continued with the next part of the deployment. I thought the former would immediately restart the computer, but perhaps it only halts other installations until a restart is performedīy the user? And then a 'Soft Reboot' basically would just act as a passive notification to the user that they should restart at some point, but the client itself would not actually take any action? Be sure to remember this account so that you can install or reinstall Office later, without a product key. If the setup wizard doesn’t start automatically, navigate to the disc drive and click SETUP.EXE.

I think this may have been a misunderstanding on my part about the specific definitions of 'Hard Reboot' vs 'Soft Reboot'.

To get to Microsoft 365 installation options, sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center with your admin account, and then go to Show all > Settings > Org settings > Services. Install 32-bit (default) Office 2010 Insert the Office 2010 disc into the drive.
