Group Policy setting

I am wondering if anyone has enabled the Group Policy
setting "Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation"
and what kind of behavior you are getting.

Based on the description, it is supposed to "automatically
install certain updates that neither interrupt Windows
services nor restart Windows".

The question is, what certain updates would be installed
under this criteria and which ones won't? Obviously a
service pack would not meet this criteria.

I am trying to get my laptop users to have the patches
install immediately instead of at a scheduled time, since
a few of them take their laptops with them before the
scheduled install time.

I may be having a simular problem, on October 18th I updated (Root
Certificates Update) witch now returns an expired date in Authorization
Certidicate (when viewing with Administrator rights with Windows 2000).
Perhaps we installed updates with expired dates.
