Can I automatically restart the destination computers without any user input or dialog boxes by using the -q -f switches (Unattended installation mode)? In there documentation there is -q -z for unattended don not reboot. I know this is stupid but what do the -q -z stand for?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Switch Description
------ -----------
/f Forces other applications to close at shutdown.
/n Does not back up files for removing hotfixes.
/z Does not restart the computer after the installation is completed.
/q Uses quiet mode; no user interaction is required.
/m Uses unattended Setup mode (Windows 2000).
/u Uses unattended Setup mode (Windows XP).
/l Lists installed hotfixes.
Can we use these switches with this tool?

Off course you can. You can do it manually by editing the .patchfile files, or using mbsaswitch.exe.
