I'm trying to figure out what happens if/when a patch is missed during Automated Deployment.

Say Patch 3 requires that Patch 1 is installed first but patch 1 requires a reboot.  So patch 1 is installed, the computer reboots, will patch 3 then get installed and if need be reboot the computer again?

After the reboot when the agent contacts the server again, does it scan itself for missing patches and subsequently install any patches that were missed immediately?  Or does the Scan only happen when we have it scheduled to?
