Hi All,

I have a group policy that seems to be causing a restart on some specific
computers. The computers are NOT part of the group (any longer) that the GP
should be applying to, but have been removed from that group. But they
still seem to be acting as if they are. (ie, when the SUS updates are
downloaded, the computers are automatically restarting, and they are test
computers, therefore, the tests aren't completing.).

I -MUST- stop that.

Is there something someone call suggest, a registry entry I can make
somewhere, something, to prevent the SUS updates from re-starting the
computer when the updates are done? Or any other ideas? The one thing I
can't really do is wipe out and reload the computers, because they are being
used in a lab environment.

Thanks,

David

This might work. Got it off the wuau.adm file.

So I just enter this...where? (where in the Registry)?...what part is it
under?

Thanks,

I'll try it!

Create a new OU for your test computers and set the GPO for that OU to not
restart on Windows Update.

I -have- an OU for that, but what it seems has happened is that a computer
what wasn't in that OU, but in another, left the OU that allows restarts,
and is now in the TESTING OU, that DOES NOT want restarts, and the change
doesn't seem to have taken effect.

So, how can I "fix it" manually?

That setting shouldn't 'tattoo'. A good place to start debugging Group
Policy issues is through RSoP.

The Registry key that I had mentioned should be under Local Machine. Delete
the value under that key. However, I'm not confident that it would exist and
that is the problem.

If you get more information using RSoP, let me know.

Can you give me a URL to instructions on how to do that? It's been so long
since it was done, I don't remember how.
