We handle our servers similarly. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Stovall [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 12:13 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: WSUS question
I use WSUS for servers and workstations. I've got OUs for different machine types. The server OU has a policy setting of "3 - Auto download and notify for install." The machines get the updates I approve and when I can open a maintenance window I install the updates and restart manually. A small subset of workstations is in an OU with similar settings and the rest of the workstations are set to update and restart on weekends.

If so, how do you handle auto-restarts? We don't want any automatic restarts based on updates, we want notification that it needs to be restarted, but we want to manually do that. If not, how do you handle updates for your servers? Thanks, Joseph L.
