sus install on locked PCs

[francisdela]

Hi all

I have a few remote sites that i want to roll out sus to. My question is this, these PCs are not logged of at night they are locked, if i set the schedule to 3 in the morning will the PCs get their updates then restart there and then or will it wait for a user to unlock it and log on?

Any help is much appreciated

If you set the policy "No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates Installations" to Enabled Windows will not automatically restart. If it is not-configured or disabled then restart will happen as long as you have selected Configure Automatic Updates Option 4. i.e. Scheduled install time which you seem to have done.

The PCs should receive their updates, the automatic restart is something that you can configure in Group Policy. If you set it to automatically restart the PCs should restart, if you have it set to NOT automatically restart the machine will wait for the user to unlock the machine and then it will ask for a restart.

I hope this helps.

Thank you both for your responses, this is what i was thinking but with the sites being a fair distance away i just needed some confirmation, thanks again.
