Automatic Updates - Suppress restart

[tsdsr]

Hi,

 

I'm just looking for some clarification on Auto Updates and suppressing restarts. I am just testing the updates but have a couple of users that a being prompted for a restart but would like for them to never be prompted and let their nightly shutdown perform that purpose.

 

I created a TEST Windows 7 Auto Update Rule some time ago and this rule generated a TEST Windows 7 Software Update Group. When looking for the suppress option I noticed there is a User Experience settings for the properties on the auto deployment rule, so I set these for Software Install, and Suppress for Servers and Workstations.

 

When I looked at the Software Update Groups I also noticed User Experience settings for the deployment.

 

What is the difference between the user experience settings under the properties of the Auto Deployment Rule and user experience settings under the properties of the deployment from Software Update Groups?

 

 

Cheers,

Hi,

 

I understand you followed the step below?

 

 

 

This is not always as effective as it should be, and I found that Group policy is still neccesary to controll this.

Whatever you define in the ADR is what it will set the deployment to, there should be no difference between the two.

Also Coenie is correct in that hiding the notification is not as effective as it should be, it does appear to be a bug (http://blogs.technet...s.aspx#comments)
