Force Updates from WSUS
We have a wsus server running. All our servers and clients refer to this wsus for updates. We also have the gpo in place and the option "Configure automatic updates" is set to "3".
Now i have an update which i want to push to my clients/servers directly and i want it to be installed (and rebooted) immediatly and automatic. I changed the configure automatic updates setting to 4 and the schedule is every saturday at 20:00 (one hour from now). I also disabled "No auto restart" and I've set the auto detection frequency to 1 hour.
Will this work or do i need to do something else? I'm not sure because all of this is set in the computer settings of a gpo so i got this feeling that i need to reboot all servers/clients upfront before they see the changes in the gpo.

The accepted answer to this question doesn't even address the question??

This is easy!! you would set a deadline on said update. Read article below

Yes i know that the dealine does this. my question was if the change in the group policy that I made required the machines to be rebooted up front. (so that they apply the gpo with the changed settings).
In my opinion the question is awnsered. if i had server 2012 R2 this would be the solution. I found out myself that the reboot wasnt required for the new settings in the gpo to be picked up.

As stated above i changed some of the gpo settings. I was under the impression the servers wouldnt pick it up since it's a computer configuration setting. Well, they did! All servers started updating and rebooting as planned!
