RE: SUS server

Well, don't they shut down the computer after work?
So, when the next morning they on the computers,
Its already a restart. So you shouldn't have the  issue of force restart.

Would you mind clarify your specific problem?

I was under the impression that if the users where not local admins the
installations occur behind the scenes with the exception of a reboot, which
can be scheduled to occur after hours.  my question had to do with those
users that ARE local admins I am hearing more and more that my issue is not
a problem with SUS rather with how I am applying the policies.  Since I am
not in an AD environment yet I exported the registry keys and import them to
the other computers.  For some reason the key AutoInstallTime does not merge
over eventhough it is in the reg file and the syntax matches the others
