No there is not in SUS 1.0. In WUS 2.0 (Windows Update Service) there will be an option.
What MS proposes is if you have SMS, do it with SMS...You have more control over it then.

Here you go; In the Windows Update setting in the Group Policy, Enable the 4th option as enabled."If the status is set to Enabled, Automatic Updates will not restart a computer automatically during a scheduled installation if a user is logged in to the computer. Instead, Automatic Updates will notify the user to restart the computer to complete the installation." Cheers, Athif -----Original Message----- From: Devan Pala [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 1:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Reboot behavior with SUS on DC's Hi, 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.
