Re: [NTSysADM] Scheduling updates on a DC via GPO isn't working

[Susan Bradley]

Well at least on my Windows 10's that misbehave like this I've never ever seen a message in the log file indicating anything.  I also set the policy, "Always automatically restart at the scheduled time" On 1/26/2018 7:09 AM, Michael Leone wrote: DC OS is Win 2012 R2. And yes, the option to reboot with logged in users is disabled. Not that I leave a DC with a logged in user overnight; I always log out when I am done, so there was no logged on user at the time the updates were supposed to install. Even if so, I should have seen a message to that effect in a log, shouldn't I?

I want to schedule automaticWhat updates using WSUS to my domain controllers. So I created new AD groups (multiple groups, because I want to stagger the rebooting of DCs - I have 6). And I made a series of new GPOs, and set them to automatically download and schedule install, all at different hours and different days. Filtered them to the new AD groups, linked them to the "Domain Controllers" OU. So one was supposed to happen this morning at 5 AM. Nothing. No reboot. I check the host, and both "gpresult /r" and rsop.msc are telling me the same thing - updates are scheduled to be installed Friday at 5 AM. The specific GPO that this DC is supposed to use is actually being applied, it says. And there are 5 important updates waiting, so I know that it checked in with WSUS, and found what it should. So it should have done *something*. But no installation today, no reboot. No interesting entries in event log. Nothing interesting in windowsupdate log - it says it found 5 updates, but nothing about installing the durn things ... This should work, right? No reason I can't create a GPO to automatically install Windows Updates via WSUS, right?
