The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to prevent WSUS from restarting computers.

Asked by mjalmassud in Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Tags: , , , ,

Hi guys,

We have a WSUS server that is running on windows server 2003, and it is working great, but there is one small problem.

Since this WSUS is dedicated to provide the update service for more than a 100 servers, we have set the policy to no auto restart. We’ve come to fine that this option applies only if there is a user logged on to the server after the updates applied, there for if there is no one logged on to it, it will restart.
Right now we had to change to option 3, which download updates then notify.

These are the options that we have right now under windows update:

Setting                                                                                                                                                 State
Do not display 'Install Updates and Shut Down' option in Shut Down Windows dialog box                                 Enabled
Do not adjust default option to 'Install Updates and Shut Down' in Shut Down Windows dialog box                 Enabled
Configure Automatic Updates                                                                                                                 Enabled
Specify intranet Microsoft update service location                                                                                 Enabled
Enable client-side targeting                                                                                                                 Enabled
Reschedule Automatic Updates scheduled installations                                                                                 Enabled
No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates installations                                                                 Enabled
Automatic Updates detection frequency                                                                                                 Not configured
Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation                                                                                 Not configured
Delay Restart for scheduled installations                                                                                                 Not configured
Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations                                                                                 Not configured
Allow non-administrators to receive update notifications                                                                                 Not configured

So the question would be as you guessed, is there a way to make no auto restart works the way it sounds with disregard to whether there is any body logged on to the server?
