Question

Answer 1

PuppetLabs provide a reboot module.

Install it on your Puppet Master using the command-line:

$ puppet module install puppetlabs-reboot

Then call it in your manifests:

package { 'SomeModule':
  ensure          => installed,
  source          => '\\server\share\some_installer.exe',
  install_options => ['/Passive', '/NoRestart'],
}
reboot { 'after':
  subscribe       => Package['SomeModule'],
}

See the documentation for a better understanding of how it works.
