Device restart behaviour

i have window for servers to be patched/restarted after the following Sunday from patch tuesday. i have created maintenance window for Sunday 4AM-4PM but the problem is it takes every sunday as Maintenance window. How can i fix this?

Also, if i install patches on few servers manually will that restart as per the client settings or we will have to manually restart. The reason is we have few back up servers where we are supposed to install updates (available) and then the storage team will restart so wanna check that if i installed updates and a restart is pending it will not trigger restart coz of client settings?

Assuming that you want to only have an MW on the Sunday immediately following patch Tuesday, then there is no method built into ConfigMgr to configure this. You will need to either manually create these MWs or use a script to do so. From memory, there are a few similar example scripts posted around the web.

As for the manual installation, that depends on what you mean by manual. Assuming you mean from software center before the deadline of the update, then yes, it will restart automatically in the next MW occurrence after the deadline (also assuming MWs aren't configured to be ignored). If the updates are deployed as available though (it's hard to tell from what you've written what the case is), then no automatic restart will be enforced ever.

Yes i mean the updates are deployed as available, but then a service desk guy just logs in to server and installs the updates via software center. as he is not restarting the server after updates are installed, will the server reboot automatically as per restart client settings (the servers where updates are available as Available do not have MW)

From my answer above: "If the updates are deployed as available ... then no automatic restart will be enforced ever."
