Hello @spuder

Has this functionality changed at all?

The reboot resource used to be in the windows cookbook and was dealt with by a handler. There is now a reboot resource is core Chef with slightly different settings which can cause an immediate reboot.

The announcement for handling reboot between kitchen runs is [Test-Kitchen 1.10.0 Released](https://discourse.chef.io/t/test-kitchen-1-10-0-released/8721)

I have a demo cookbook on my Github which appears to work with Chef 13.0.118 [https://github.com/chrisgit/test\_kitchen-multiboot](https://github.com/chrisgit/test_kitchen-multiboot)

What is the new behaviour? Which version of ChefDK are you using?
