Reboot after Updates with logged on administrator Marc Muehlfeld 5/23/2007 11:46:00 AM Hello, is there a way to let windows machines automatically reboot after automatic updates, when there`s an administrator logged on? NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers only controlls that Non-Admin-Users will logged out. It doesn`t seem to affect Administrators. Any idea? Best regards Marc

The default behaviour should be to reboot automatically after presenting a five minute warning countdown. Of course, if the administrator is present, he or she can postpone the reboot. What behaviour are you seeing? Harry.

Re: Reboot after Updates with logged on administrator Marc Muehlfeld 5/24/2007 7:34:00 AM I just get the information that the computer installed new updates and he asks me if I want to reboot now or later. Doesn`t matter what value I set for NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers.

This is correct. Administrators are *administrators*, and they can do whatever they want. The WUA presents a dialog appropriate to that permission level, which includes two options: "Reboot Later" or "Reboot Now". If you want to override this behavior, what you'll need to do is enable the policy "Remove all access to use Windows Update features", which will deny those administrators access to the WUA UI, which will, in turn, force the reboot on them, just as if they were non-privileged users. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP Independent WSUS Evangelist MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E Everything you need for WSUS is at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....
