Hi commfudeaf,
>1.) Is there a way / GPO configuration for the updates to auto install but not reboot?
We may select AU option 4, auto download and schedule the install; And enable policy "NO-auto restart when logged on users";
>2.) Can I remote in to the servers during business hours and install then updates, then schedule a reboot during maintenance hours via task scheduler?
If we use AU option 4, then we don't need to remote to the servers and click "Install updates" manually, the updates will be installed on schedule time.
> have the GPO setting of 'No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations' set to Enabled so I understand if I am logged in the server will not auto reboot. I am wondering if this is the same if I lock the server,
and leave the session in a disconnected state.
Yes, when there are users logon in the computer, then the computer will not be restart automatically.
>my plan is to install updates manually on all servers at some point during the week during business hours, then 'lock' the server and allow the scheduled task to reboot over the weekend? Is this a valid method or is there a better way?
You can do this, while I think with AU option 4, we don't need to install the updates manually.
Best Regards,
Anne
