First things first. It sounds like the policy might not be getting applied
to the workstations? If you look in CP -> Automatic Updates, can you see
that the policies you set are indicated there, with no ability to change
them? If you log into the workstation and do Start -> Run -> Rsop.msc, do
you see the policies in the results? (You might have to restart the
workstation several times - maybe 3 - before the policy will be applied).
I have the policy set to not force a reboot if a user is logged in. So if
the PC is turned off when the update is scheduled, and the user has local
admin rights, when they restart they get the yellow shield prompting them to
apply the updates. If they don't, when they go to shut down, they get
"Install updates and shut down." If they don't shut down, updates apply at
the next scheduled time, as long as the user is logged out.
Non-admin users get the same thing, except they don't see the shield or have
the option to manually install the missed updates. They either get "Install
updates and shut down," or the update installs at the next scheduled time.

I'm confused about the Automatic Update client when using WSUS.
I have installed WSUS 3.0 on the small business server and created the
Computer Groups. I have setup the schedule for the Client computers to
update at 3.00 a.m.
I have checked in the Groups Policy editor on the server and this all
seems to be setup in the right place.
What is confusing me is that if a client computer is turned off at night
it is not automatically updating after it turns on in the morning. It
shows an alert that updates are waiting but they are not getting installed
automatically.
According to the deployment guide on Technet this shold occur one minute
after reboot if the Reschedule Automatic Update scheduled installations is
set to not configured - see below.
If I use gpedit on the client then the settings do not show up as set at
all.
I must be missing something basic ?
Reschedule Automatic Updates scheduled installations
This policy specifies the amount of time that Automatic Updates should
wait after system startup before proceeding with a scheduled installation
that did not take place earlier.
If the status is set to Enabled, a missed installation will occur the
specified number of minutes after the computer is next started.
If the status is set to Disabled, a missed installation will occur with
the next scheduled installation.
If the status is set to Not Configured, a missed installation will occur
one minute after the next time the computer is started.
This policy applies only when Automatic Updates is configured to perform
scheduled installations of updates. If the Configure Automatic Updates
policy is disabled, this policy has no effect.
To reschedule Automatic Update scheduled installation
1. In the Group Policy Object Editor, expand Computer Configuration,
expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then click
Windows Update.
2. In the details pane, click Reschedule Automatic Update
scheduled installations, click Enabled, and type the number of minutes to
wait.
3. Click OK.
