We have number of servers in AD and WSUS is configured for all Servers
I would like to know
1. What are the settings in WSUS to FORCE pushing Windows OS Updates on all servers.
2. How to FORCE installation of OS Updates on all servers
3. Obviously, we do not want all server to reboot at once,
How to set 10-12 Server Reboots at a specific time in night to avoid disruption so that Windows OS is patched and Update?
Please give your valuable feedback.
Hi, @RDzz1367
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
If we want to force pushing windows OS updates on all servers, we need to configure the group policy: Configure Automatic Updates and select 4 - Auto download and schedule the install.
For the details:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/deploy/4-configure-group-policy-settings-for-automatic-updates#configure-automatic-updates
And we can delay restart for scheduled installations:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/deploy/4-configure-group-policy-settings-for-automatic-updates#delay-restart-for-scheduled-installations
If you haven't configured the basic settings of WSUS, you may refer to:
