Scheduling the automatic download and installation of updates through Group Policy for Windows Server 2012 R2

-

hi,

i'm looking in-depth understanding of how use wsus , group policy update windows server 2012 r2. more specifically, what's best practice.

the key issue can see, if have agreed maintenance window of 30 minutes starting @ 5am every sunday (for example), how can ensure updates downloaded wsus server before maintenance window, @ 5am, updates installed , (if required) server rebooted afterwards? also, if updates take longer 30 minutes install, reboot happen outside of maintenance window. can avoided?

i suppose, ideally... updates should scheduled download whenever they're available, installed on sunday @ 3am, reboot carried out @ 5am. possible? know can delay reboot through group policy... i'd need specify exact time.

when using option 4 "configure automatic updates" in group policy... updates download @ scheduled time, or download whenever they're available (approved) wsus server?

thanks

tony


 with wsus , gpo settings, can define start time installation: cannot limit update process' run time or disable restart if run time exceeds 30 min. when using option 4 (download , schedule install), approved updates downloaded when update becomes available on wsus server. detection frequency setting affects how client run check.

Edit Group Policy

i have pc has power settings pushed out default domain policy in ad environment. of course on local machine "some settings managed system adminstrator". the machine temporarily no longer in contact domain controller (it's been physically moved , not on same network now) can't updated gpo settings. i believe if edit local group policy won't make difference because of group policy processing , precedence. since it's temporary away ad network, still want use settings of ad user. is there somewhere in registry stored can edit power plan manually until can sync domain? (i need prevent sleeping while plugged in - it's set 1 hour) thanks! allen crist i found site: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#7916 i able add policy to hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\power using specs found on site. looks solved issue. i'll report if didn't. thanks! allen crist ...
