There are a couple of group policy settings that control the behaviour of Windows Update on clients and servers. These are contained within..<br />
Computer Configuration-&gt;Administrat<wbr />ive Templates-&gt;Windows Components-&gt;Windows Update<br />
'Allow Non-Administrators to recieve update notifications' might be a good place to start.<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

Sorry, it might be a dumb question but I have searched Google and EE and co. up and down and did not find a satisfactory answer.<br />
<br />
We have WSUS3 running for serveral servers and a bunch of clients. Everything works fine except that I have observed that for a while now (without anyone modifying the Group Policies) the clients are not prompted for restart anymore in the tastbar but only display the &quot;Install Updates and Shutdown&quot; option in the Start Menu. This is very annoying because the updates won't install on a normal restart!<br />
<br />
Is this normal? Has this changed? I am confused. Please help.

WSUS: Shutdown or Restart?

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).

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
