Im a bit confused by the description.
Are you saying that the updates that SUS has are being reinstalled on
clients each time they reboot?

The following statement:
"The big question is should I remove the software deployment package from
the
group policy to resolve this problem"

Do you have software that you are trying to distribute thru group policy or
are you referring to the SUS settings that are added to group policy.
There should be no need to add update packages into the policy, but just use
the SUS group policy settings to point clients to the SUS server.

Some clients are installing updates and some are not. Are the failing ones
successfully applying group policy? Use Gpresults to check on that.
