WSUS auto-restating computers and servers

Hi All,
I've just installed WSUS on my network. I want updates to install and
restart users machines automatically, but I need servers to only restart
manually.

I can enable the group policy "No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic
Updates installations" but I assume this affects all machines. Is there any
way of differentiating between servers and desktops?

Many thanks,
Alastair.

If there is, they'll know in this NG

One of the more common ways I have seen of accomplishing this is by placing
the machines in seperate GPO's and run seperate policies for each group of
machines.
