Without a Deadline set, they can continue to select install later when prompted that updates are available. Of course none of us EVER let anyone on our networks run with admin rights. ;-) TVK -----Original Message----- From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 2:55 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch to be released today, stay tuned I set that on my template in Shavlik, if you don't reboot its going to force reboot you and u don't have a choice, nor can they kill the service, either.

What's this whole 'Deadline' thing in WSUS, is this one of those times to use it? Does it overide users prograstinating about installs/reboots? No biggie, I can google it too, but it you have thoughts to share, it would be nice.
