server restart behavior

Question

Hello Experts ,

I have installed a patch to punch of windows servers 2012 and enabled the option to suppress the windows server restart as attached screenshot , however i keep getting this message when RDP to any of those windows servers 2012 :
windows update
your computer will restart in 2 days to finish installing important updates

How i can stop such auto restart and keep it manual ?

Hi, @Qusay Sosan

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Like Rahul Jindal mentioned, you may create a custom client setting and disable the option "Configuration Manager can force a device to restart", then deploy this custom client setting to the server device collection.

I don't see any attachments with your post. However, if you are talking about suppress restart option in the deployment, then that only suppresses automatic restart in cases where some updates require a device to be restarted before finishing up the installation. If you want to prolong the restart or control the restart behavior in general, then I will suggest to setup a separate client setting 'Computer Restart' for the servers and manage through that.
