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.
