Solved Windows Update: Rogue Reboot
-
Seems like this has come around again....
Server is receiving updates when the GPO is set to disable it.
-
Hey @scottalanmiller here is an example of a random reboot!
-
I have users on a nearly monthly occasion complain that they they tell the system to remind in 10 mins or 4 hours, and yet the machine will just randomly reboot while they are working.
-
ive had similar issues
Tried WSUS server through Group Policy. Never got it to work properly. gave it the finger.
Turned windows updates off through GPO policy settings and to not bother user. Machines still at random will reboot without notice due to updates. Or updates will still get installed.
Am I that incompetent?

This goes with @art_of_shred thread:

Are you using any sort of RMM product?

ManageEngine I believe might be on it,.. but updates are pushed manually.

I asked because we use N-Able and they used to have an issue where the popup would show up, but it basically did nothing.
Their code rewrote all the update stuff.

Is there a reason this reboot is referred to as "red", or was that supposed to be rogue?
-
When you reboot, your users see red?

@scottalanmiller
Sometimes it's not just the users that seeredSysAdmins do too... -
@ntoxicator Are you sure the GPO is being applied?
-
Edited rouge to rogue. Makes a bit more sense now.
-
Any further progress on tracking this down?
-
Not entirely.
Both @art_of_shred and I have looked at it. It would appear though that updates were set to trigger.. and not to disable. So while another setting showed as being disabled, it would still trigger.
-
What's the latest? Should we be looking into this more?

No longer an issue,

Well then, another one bites the dust.
