Hello, I usually deploy updates over a month to all the pcs. I am being asked can I do it in one night. I have 2000 pcs with multiple applications in the environment. I have never been a fan of patching everything at once but more of a controlled deployment. I only do critical patches. Any thoughts on doing them all in one night?

Hi I have recently deployed SCCM 2012 using your configuration guides, which are excellent! I have deployed a standalone server and everything else is configured as advised in the guides. The issue I have is when MS updates are deployed after patch Tuesday. In the past it was possible, through GPO, to delay a system reboot after updates have been applied with the option given to user to delay a reboot for a period of time. I am unable to get this functionality to work in SCCM 2012 as each time updates are applied, SCCM displays a dialogue box advising that the system will be rebooted in xx time. There is no option to delay the reboot. In my Monthly Updates ADR I have configured, under User Experience', suppress system restart for both servers and workstations but this does not appear to work. I am still quite new to SCCM 2012 and so far I am enjoying its functionality, but this is causing me a real headache. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards Paul
