Software Updates Install and Reboot time.
I need help to understand how to coordinate time between install of the updates and the Reboot of the computer.
Let's say the Company policy requires Reboot of the computer after Software Updates install, even if there is no Software Update needed the computer should reboot during it is Maintenance Window.
Correct me if I am wrong in the settings:
1 - Highlight Software Update Group, and in the lower pane / Deployments tab, select Software deployment name , Right-click on it and select properties. then I configured the properties as shown below:

2 - The Maintenance Window for the Collection that the Software Update Group is Deployed to is shown below:

** I still do not see the settings for Computer Reboot even if there is no Updates to Install...
Any Help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you

how do you tell the Task, if there is no update to be installed go ahead and reboot the computer . if there are Updates to be installed do not do anything as the Software Updates Settings + Maintenance window will take care of the Reboot ?
Unless if you schedule the Task to Reboot the computer during the maintenance window , and stagger for 20 minutes or so between that Task and the Software Updates to start ..
for instance the Maintenance Windows is 1am 3 am ... the Reboot Task will run at 1:10 am , then Software updates will start at 1:30 am
That way the computer might be rebooted twice , by the Reboot task and probably by the Software Updates if they require Reboot.
it still Ok to be rebooted twice during the maintenance window , and the software Update will not be disturbed..
