Nothing to add to anything. If the server has a maintenance window and an updates deployment advertised to it (and is correctly configured to allow the reboot during MWs) then when it's done installing updates it will just reboot. I patch 500 servers this way every month.

In past questions, I've related that currently I manually reboot all of my 200+ servers. We're revamping how we're doing the server patching, with a couple of maintenance windows, and auto reboots. However, I'm not sure the "best" method of doing the reboot. Do I just change the client settings to reboot in a couple of minutes, or do I add a shutdown -r to the package, or some other method?
