I am tinkering with our GPO for Windows Updates on Windows 2008 servers. Our environment consists of 15-20 virtual Windows servers, and ideally I would like for updates to download and install at a specified time. Getting that setting right seems easy enough via GPO, but what I am trying to avoid is the server auto-restarting. My goal is to just be able to go in manually after scheduled updates should have occurred and reboot the server on my own.
I can see where you can enable "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations", but my concern here is the "logged on users" part. If I need to work within a server, I typically just log on and off via RDP. So with that in mind, if my scheduled auto updates are taking place at say midnight, it means there is likely nobody "logged" on to the server. Since this setting in question says "No auto-restart with LOGGED on users....", does this mean the server WILL restart since nobody is logged on when the update takes place?
Thanks
