The computer restarts when you use the Config.xml file in the SetupUpgradeSilent folder to silently upgrade a computer that is running Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

SYMPTOMS

You run the Setup program to silently upgrade a computer that is running Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 to Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. To do this, you use the following command line:
setup.exe /config files\SetupUpgradeSilent\config.xml
However, during the upgrade process, the computer restarts. You do not receive a warning message that notifies you that the computer shuts down and then restarts during the upgrade process.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Setup program forces a shutdown and a restart of the computer during the silent upgrade process. This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, add the following line to the Config.xml file:
<Setting Id="REBOOT" Value="ReallySuppress"/>
This line prevents the computer from restarting during the upgrade process.

Note The Config.xml file for a silent upgrade is located in the Files\SetupUpgradeSilent folder of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 installation source.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
