I recently sent a post with regards to creating a seperate GPO for DC's to utilize SUS and Windows Updates.
So far everything looks and works the way I want it to. The only thing I am trying to figure out is if there is a way to auto download and schedule the install but not reboot the system (there seems to be only one GPO setting for controlling reboot behavior while logged on) but not when the system is idle or left at the login prompt.
My only fear with this behavior is what happens if there is a failed reboot or the system hangs or whatever, I would like to be able to control when the DC is rebooted either remotely or by a local administrator (and there's that, the org. operates in a centralized model with distributed administration including offices overseas) so a hanged reboot may mean 8am in Germany but 1 or 2 am in the Central Time Zone....
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
