Ocassionally theres updates like this that dont follow "the rules" I havent noticed this behaviour with the last batch of updates though. You best double check your policies just in case.
We had this recently, whre it forced a reboot after 30 seconds
You dare to use windows update and expect it to go swimmingly? hahaOriginally Posted by kennysarmy
I have not had that happen yet but i will look forward to it.

Is this just effecting workstations, or servers aswell?
at the moment just worktstations.
yesterday my pc was updated automatically and i was bugged all day with the pop up asking whether i wanted to restart NOW or LATER - so i just did it at the end of the day - seems something is preventing this message appearing for the restricted student and teacher accounts. Will trawl through the policies first I think...
My home PC rebooted overnight without me telling it to.
On Vista by default it'll restart 10minutes after the update has been installed. If you're at the computer then you can postpone it or set it to remind me in a set amount of time... Quite frustrating if you've left your computer on overnight for a reason!
Mine did that last night. Hmmm how annoying. I assumed it was a power cut or something

No it was definitely windows update that did it. I caught it doing the 30 second timer thing earlier in the night.
Under Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then expand Windows Update.
No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates installations
This policy specifies that Automatic Updates will wait for the computer to be restarted by any user who is logged on to complete a scheduled installation. If this policy is not used, the computer restarts automatically.
I've set this to enabled - see what happens.
Yes, I had this enabled. My machine still rebooted.
Yep got computers rebooting here as well even though we have a global policy not to!
Something in the latest update I think.
Same here as well.
We had this problem last week in a couple of computer suites. Seems to have calmed itself down now though.
