Are you using a WSUS server or are the downloading of updates managed by the XP machines. If not then unless you want to give your users admin rights they can not delay the automatic rebooting of their machines after automatic updates. One thing you can do is schedule the install of updates for after work hours.

If you set these up to use MS Updates, then set the schedule for 3am, this way nobody is bothered. &nbsp;

My two DC's are 2003 and clients are all XP SP2. We have automatic updating enabled and I have found that after the machines have been updated, they are not given the option to Restart the machine at a later time. This is bad if they are working on a Document etc.., and can't restart later.<br />
<br />
Which GPO do I need to Enable to allow them to Restart the machine later? Isn't it the &quot;Act as part of the Operating System&quot; user right? Please let me know location of GPO as well.<br />
<br />
Cheers

GPO - Which one do I need to enable for the option to Not Reboot after Updated?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
