Thanks James.  Wasn’t 100% sure about those entries in the WU log.   Here is 
the entry in system, where it shows the client initiating the shutdown.   I 
don’t think it has anything to do with a user being logged on but I wanted to 
check with others.

I use these same settings and I have users logged in all the time, so I don’t 
think that’s it.

I could be wrong but I believe that snippet of the WindowsUpdate.log does not 
necessary indicate that it was WU that initiated the shutdown. That just means 
the service was stopped when the computer was being shutdown/rebooted. I have 
those same lines in my log from when I manually rebooted this morning. I would 
look in the System log and search for the “USER32” source entry around the time 
that you think the computer was rebooted. It will state clearly in that event 
what user or source rebooted the computer. It’ll say something like this… just 
to confirm it was ConfigMgr rebooting and not some other source.

Subject: [mssms] SU reboot behavior question

I have some workstations that recently rebooted after updates installed and I’m 
trying to determine why this happened.   I was told there is a service account 
logged in on these workstations so I wasn’t sure if someone logged on would 
bypass the suppress reboot.    I’ve read other articles with folks having 
similar issues but haven’t seen any talk about if a user is logged in.


1.       User notifications is set to Hide all.

2.       We do not use maintenance windows.

3.       In the WindowsUpdate.log it shows AU intiates service shutdown.

a.       [cid:[email protected]]

4.       Automatic Updates is set to disabled on the workstation.

5.       There aren’t any GPs being applied to the workstations that would 
modify SU behavior.
