Does anyone know a way of booting to Windows when SIP is enabled.
Apples wonderful security feature prevents you from using bless and the replacement systemsetup -setstartupdisk only seems to work with OS X volumes.
It would be nice to be able to programatically periodically boot into Windows on dualboot machines to allow routine updates etc... to apply.

Did anyone ever get back to you on this? I am attempting to do the same...

Nope, we never found a way of automatically booting to Windows if SIP is enabled, to be fair though I haven't tried in quite a while but as far as I know Apple hasn't changed anything that would allow it.
