Is Solarwinds or our server pushing MS updates?

We use SolwarWinds software to push microsoft updates and patches to computers in the network.  It is set at 3am each night to check and install.  I have a few computers where a message comes up that says "your IT admin has initiated and update you have 2 minutes before reboot."  Something like that.  Is this message coming from the SolwarWinds software and initiating the update or from Group Policy or AD?

Combination of both... Solarwinds controls what and when to update. Group policy sets the when to reboot.

Depends. Pach-Manager can be used agent and agentless

Any instructions on how to edit group policy to change the reboot time?
