Thank you for the quick reply and the link dstewartjr. &nbsp;I was hoping to apply the change to just the two specific PC's that run the overnight export that way all the other PC's would automatically update and restart each night. &nbsp;The link you provided will work for now. &nbsp;After reading through it the option 4 - Auto download and schedule the install along with the sub-option a. No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Update installations might be my best choice. &nbsp;It appears this option would automactically download and install the updates and then prompt the user for restart at their convenience. &nbsp;Thanks again!

We have an SBS 2008 server. &nbsp;After hours we have two workstations that run an overnight export process. &nbsp;Occasionally the automatic Windows Updates restart the workstations and disrupt the overnight data export. &nbsp;Is there a way to disable the automatic updates on the two workstations and run them manually? &nbsp;I believe the Group Policy on the SBS 2008 server is preventing the user at the workstation from changing the automatic update setting.
