Tip - Scripted OS Install Remember /noreboot on setup

Took me a while to find this one. I'm sure it's documented somewhere but at least my searching didn't pick it up.
I'm running a scripted OS install of Windows server 2008 (although I believe this would apply to 2000 & 2003 as well).
RDP correctly started setup.exe but on first reboot (setup does this automatically and will say your computer is restarting in X seconds) the altiris client was never able to send up the return code of setup.exe as the client was being shutdown by setup.exe before setup.exe finished and the server reboots.
Result is the job will appear stuck forever.
Fix is to add /noreboot switch to setup.exe then add a reboot task to the install job. This way, setup.exe finishes, passes up it's status and the Altiris job continues on it's merry way.
