Feature Update Install (Reboot Pending Machines Validation)

Summary

The script runs on machines where the Feature Update Reboot Pending custom field is flagged after the execution of the Feature Update Install With Tracking task, signifying a pending reboot to finalize the Feature Pack Update. Subsequently, the script updates the Feature Update Install Failure custom field with the outcome for monitoring purposes.

The script compares the current operating system build with the latest available build before and after the upgrade, with the latest build requiring manual entry into the script. For any new releases, the build number must be manually set in the script at step 1 for Windows 11 and step 2 for Windows 10.
