Disable automatic reboot of win7 pc's and 2008 server, 2003
Hi all,
This is getting on my nerves , I have a couple of servers sbs 2003, sbs 2008, sbs 2011
I find that they regularly try to install updates by themself this is not a big deal.
But afterwards it reboots as well clients pc's (while they are working)
And also the server. Some servers don't boot up automatic and need user interaction.
So, I'm looking for a way to disable client pc (xp, win7) to not automatic restart after updates.
And also for the server
On client pc's (win7) I have configured Computer policy gpedit.msc and one of the settings is to not reboot after updates. But yesterday I had a pc who rebooted anyway (during work)
SO, what is the trick to prevent computers and servers from not automatically reboot after updates?
Thanks for advice

I also had problems with the automatic reboots after updates, that's why I started to use WuInstall - maybe it will help you, too. It is a commad-line tool which allows you to decide when to do which updates. By default there won't be any reboots but if you wish one you can force it with a command like /reboot.
Does 2008 server overwrite the group policy settings from the server side to clients?
