Suspending a patch schedule during reboot prompts may prevent all subsequent patching until a reboot is completed (4288124)

Using the feature "End after" in a patching schedule will suspend additional patching tasks from starting after the chosen time.  If a patching schedule reaches the "End after" time during reboot prompts, no additional prompt will exist when the current prompt times out.  If no reboot is ever completed, the K1000 will not run any additional tasks on that system until it is rebooted outside of patching schedules.

To identify a system that may be in this situation:

1. Go to C:\ProgramData\Quest\KACE on the system
2. Look for a marker file called KREBOOT_PENDING
3. If the above marker file exists, no patching will continue until the system is rebooted

To avoid this situation, please allow enough time for all deployments and pending reboot prompts to complete before the time entered for "End after".  If it is not possible to allow for enough reboot time in the schedule, please make sure the systems are rebooted prior to any additional patching schedules.
