To add to he conversation: I ran an ADR on patch Tuesday at 8:00 PM CST and it did not grab the latest Windows 10 / Office 2016 updates . I ran it again Wednesday morning and it grabbed them. I've since rescheduled to 11 PM. I was hoping to run the ADR at 8 since I would be able to setup the deployment in "days" to meet schedule needs, instead of "hours".
