SCCM Software Update Deployment - Changing device restart behavior

Question

Hi,

We are planning on changing our server patching schedule to Wednesday to Sunday 2:00AM to 6:00AM. On Wednesday to Friday will be purely on installing patches (suppressed reboot) and on Saturday and Sunday2:00AM to 6:00AM will be the reboot of the servers - by unchecking the check box on suppressing the reboot on the deployment.

would the server reboot as expected?

Thanks,

Hi @neal antonio

This will depend on the updates, some may require a reboot, which may cause a problem on your weekday updates.

You may benefit from doing the following:

1. Click on the “Start” button and type
   gpedit.msc
   press Enter.
2. In the Local Group Policy Editor, go to
   Computer Configuration ->
   ->Administrative Templates->
   -> Windows Components->
   -> Windows Update
3. Double-click on “No auto-restart with automatic installations of scheduled updates”.
4. Select "Enabled", and then click "OK".
5. Close the local group policy editor.

I do hope this answers your question.

Thanks.
