SUS Auto-Restart

Gurus,

All my servers running Win2K and using SUS policy are auto-restarting after
a patch is applied even when No Auto-Restart is set to YES. In Ms KB I have
found an information that a user must be logged in in order to have this
setting working. All my servers most of the time don't have any users logged
in. What can I do to don't let to auto-restart?

Thank You

Hi

Your only option is to configure the servers to not auto-install the
updates, just download them and notify. You must then log on to the
server to install the updates and control the reboot.


Fyi, there is a separate newsgroup for SUS:

microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...wareupdatesvcs

URL to the group softwareupdatesvcs for those who uses the Web
interface to access the newsgroups:
