Is there anyway to force the WSUS server to update clients only at a weekend?

I know there is an option to set the synchronisation time i.e. 00:00 to
24:00, but how do I set it ro run on certain days. Certain servers must
not be rebooted during the week, and so cannot receive updates from
WSUS in case they are bounced. If there is a way around this, I would
love to know it.

Thanks.

Hi,

In the Automatic Updates client configuration, you can in the field
"Scheduled install day" select "7 - Every Saturday". This way the
server will install updates and reboot only on a Saturday (or select
Sundays if you prefer that).
