Hi

I am considering the possibility of implementing WSUS on our network. I have put in place a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise server. All the prerequisites for WSUS have been met, and therefore i have WSUS 3 SP2 installed. I have setup a GPO for one computer in a test OU with the group policy settings for WSUS updates. Please see a screenshots below/attached



In the above screen capture, you will see that i have specified a time to install, however to cause minimal disruption, i want the updates to install on shutdown only. They can download automatically, however i only want updates to install on shutdown.

Can any one let me know if this is possible?

Kind regards

Matthew

Hi,

isn't that what option 4 does - downloads, but schedules the install for next Shutdown?

That's how I've understood it previously anyway...

 

We have ours set to install at about 8pm every night then do a reboot and then shutdown

 

Or get SCCM and use maintenance windows and collections instead?

 

Hi option 4 requires you to specify a time for install. The only reason i asked is because when installing in normal hours, we were receiving complaints that computers were running slow
