Hi all, For some reason I have in the back of my mind that a domain computer will check for updates every x hours as stipulated by the GPO setting "Automatic Updates detection frequency" OR at every reboot. Am I making this reboot part up? Basically I don't want my clients to wait the default 22 hours but, as we shut down all workstations at night, if the reboot fact is true, then it'll happen every morning which suits me fine. Thanks Andrew

I don't believe this happens at boot up but I could be wrong. Even if it doesn't you could very easily use a startup script to kick this off on a reboot. There are also lots of ways to do it remotely if the need arises. The following blog has some nice examples: http://msmvps.com/blogs/athif/archive/2006/05/15/95060.aspx Regards, Jamie Nelson \| Lead Analyst \| BI&T Desktop Management \| Devon Energy Corporation \| Work: 405.552.8054 \| Mobile: 405.200.8088 \| http://www.dvn.com <http://www.dvn.com/> From: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew McHale Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 12:27 PM To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Automatic Updates detection frequency Hi all, For some reason I have in the back of my mind that a domain computer will check for updates every x hours as stipulated by the GPO setting "Automatic Updates detection frequency" OR at every reboot.
