Server 2012 can really ruin your day
When it announces that it's going to restart in 15 minutes to complete windows updates. at 10:15. And it's the server that hosts the virtual server with SIMS installed.
I had thought I had prevented disaster using this guide:

and then running gpupdate /force
However, this turned out to be a false hope, as a phone call from reception to tell me that SIMS wasn't accessible lead to a cold sweat and realisation that, yep, the server had decided to restart itself. After many promises of violence against the person at Microsoft who thought it was a really fantastic idea to take control of a server's restart time away from the administrator of the system, 20 minutes later all is back up and running.
For future reference, this would appear to be a better bet to prevent Microsoft from ruining your day:
