Thanks for that info, I had never even thought about a separate GPO for the
servers (I should have) I just got that taken care of.

Use GPO's to control it. I always use "Auto download and notify for
install." for servers.
To configure the behavior of Automatic Updates
1.. In Group Policy Object Editor, expand Computer Configuration, expand
Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then click Windows
Update.
2.. In the details pane, double-click Configure Automatic Updates.
3.. Click Enabled, and then click one of the following options:
a.. Notify for download and notify for install. This option notifies a
logged-on administrative user prior to the download and prior to the
installation of the updates.
b.. Auto download and notify for install. This option automatically
begins downloading updates and then notifies a logged-on administrative user
prior to installing the updates.
c.. Auto download and schedule the install. If Automatic Updates is
configured to perform a scheduled installation, you must also set the day and
time for the recurring scheduled installation.
d.. Allow local admin to choose setting. With this option, the local
administrators are allowed to use Automatic Updates in Control Panel to select
a configuration option of their choice. For example, they can choose their own
scheduled installation time. Local administrators are not allowed to disable
Automatic Updates.

Do you guys use WSUS for server updates?
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,
