I also come in early in mornings ( Like 3:00am or earlier to patch my systems each month) So I feel your pain. Z Edward E.

I work in a hospital so all of the clinical pc's are always on. The only thing we could do was to set up the reboot for 3:30 AM (same time as when I or my buddy have to do a real early shift to install patches and reboot servers.) ________________________________ From: Tim Vander Kooi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 11:16 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch to be released today, stay tuned And it does require a reboot after install. I hate when out of cycle patches require reboots. I prefer when my users don't know.
