WSUS installation of update after manually applied?

Hello. I am running Windows 2000 Server SP4. I have a WSUS server that
installs updates. But on one server they would not install. I did some
troubleshooting and got it to install via going to Windows Update site.

My question is this. The group policy is set to install updates at 10:00PM.
The WSUS still shows this update as needed. Will this update be reinstalled
and reboot the server? Or is WSUS smart enough to not bother installing an
update that was manually installed?

Thanks.
