"But isn't that reboot based on client settings, like for desktops? Or does the maintenance window override that?" Do you mean the Countdown setting ? [cid:[email protected]] If so then yes this setting does apply to it as well, but just ensure that you have Client settings deployed to servers that have settings that are tailored to server :) and a different one for workstations.

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?
