Here's the URL to the web-based WSUS newsgroup :

I'll attempt to create a link that you can click and OE *should* open to the NG:

All,.
I am installing WSUS in a large, complex environment. Unfortunately, my test environment is pretty limited (I know, but I just work here). I want to separate the install and reboot processes (basically, I wasnt WSUS to install the updates, but NOT reboot the server), as we have scheduled reboots and don't want the reboots to vary depending on how long it takes to download the updates, install them, etc.
The closest thing I can find is a group policy located under computer configuration/administrative templates/windows components/windows update
called "no auto-restart for scheduled automatic updates installation" ... As I said, I have not tested this setting, but looking at it, it seems to me that this will only work if a user happens to be logged on to the computer in question... otherwise, the computer will reboot when the installation is completed. If anyone has tried this and can verify whether this is true, please let me know. Also, if anyone has tested any other options for achieving a separate install/reboot cycle, that would be helpful too...
Any help would be appreciated. In the meantime, I will continue to investigate, and if I confirm anything on my own, I will post my findings.
Thanks
no auto-restart for scheduled automatic updates installation in group policy
Specifies that to complete a scheduled installation, Automatic Updates will wait for the computer to be restarted by any user who is logged on, instead of causing the computer to restart automatically.
If the status is set to Enabled, Automatic Updates will not restart a computer automatically during a scheduled installation if a user is logged in to the computer. Instead, Automatic Updates will notify the user to restart the computer.
Be aware that the computer needs to be restarted for the updates to take effect.
If the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, Automatic Updates will notify the user that the computer will automatically restart in 5 minutes to complete the installation.
Note: 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.
