Windows 8. Release Date:. Security-only update. Need more help? Expand your skills. Same here Even worse, during operating hours! Gladly, no harm done besides the unexpected downtime. In order to be certain, i'd suggest making a GP to disable windows update service for mission critical servers? It can't can't install updates without this service. Edit: I'm assuming you will be performing regular manual maintenance on these servers to stay up to date.
Just be sure to adjust monitoring for this service. Looking for an answer here too re. Server No WSUS, not domain-joined, haven't started fiddling with registry. There is something in the UI to schedule the reboot but it only activates when the reboot is pending. I checked the server around lunchtime and it was still downloading.
This evening--boom! With this config, we are manually managing the Updates on Hyper-V instances and critical server to prevent this issue. Yup, that is what we've resorted to as well. Not ideal, but luckily the downloads, huge as they are, don't take a long time over a fast Internet connection so we're not losing much time during our monthly maintenance cycle by not having them pre-downloaded and ready for install.
So far so good. I am wondering if some of the confusion here--and my own mistake a couple weeks ago--is about what happens AFTER you tell Windows to install updates. Before , it would install the updates, then patiently wait for you to do the reboot.
Now, I'm thinking that once you tell it to install updates, if no one is logged on, it will just reboot whenever or perhaps during quiet hours if that option is available. In other words, even the Manual scenario, once you give it the go-ahead on updating, be prepared for a reboot. In order not to make the update process even more complicated, we have already installed the updates manually and then restarted them at a suitable time if production allows it!!!!!
This procedure is no longer possible since Server - without deactivating these stupid active hours dirty! This can't be true! Wang - is there still a chance for the administrators that another GPO will be issued to solve this problem?
Es kann doch wirklich nicht in Microsofts Sinn sein, dass Hyper-V Server oder andere produktive Systeme einfach neu starten?! I created a task in Task Scheduler as a workaround for this nasty issue.
It deactivates the Update Orchestrator "Reboot" task every 30 minutes. Have you tried sconfig. It is working for us, setting to download only makes it only download. Or set to manual to totally disable updates? I had a server just reboot on me today. I thought I had set sconfig. There is no GP to control this apparently. I can only assume sconfig is what matters. Should Hospitals, Airports, Power Plants including Nuclear scrap any plans of using W for the mission-critical applications?
Setting to DownloadOnly or Manual is irrelevant - the big issue is that WS, when told to install updates, will automatically reboot instead of simply waiting for an admin to manually reboot the server. Interesting to note that this issue only seems to impact servers with a GUI; our Enterprise Core servers behave as expected so far. I had this happen to me as well. I happily allowed to go ahead and install updates on several servers, only to find out a while later that all sorts of havoc had broken loose by them going down for a restart!!!
Thanks for randomly changing how things work, MS. On , I could initiate installation of updates and then, when I had a scheduled maintenance window, manually kick off the reboot and make sure everything came back up ok - nice and easy. I'm getting to the point where I'm almost too paranoid to even try updating these things, as if I do start the process, I better be sitting there babysitting it during the entire lengthy process while it does its thing and hope it doesn't run off the end of the maintenance window till it gets around to going for a reboot.
I guess I'm going to have to resort to some of the suggested "hacks" to prevent this nonsense. Took me ages to just explain this issue with the server restarting on its own after updates were installed manually. Glad to find others voicing their displeasure at this terrible implementation of windows update from Microsoft.
I am too Looking for a solution to prevent this auto restart after installing updates, from Microsoft. It is much more convenient to download and install the updates, then come back to this the next day and do the restart. Now once I do the download and install, I cannot leave it because it will just randomly restart at some unknown time. Even the restart timer, doesn't enable until a restart is actually scheduled. So if you trigger the installation, you don't even know when the restart timer is going to become available to set it, doh.
And if you install the Update manually the needed time window is ridiculous. In our environtment with 15 Server everything von 30 minutes to 3 hours is needed for the installing windows updates. We had it and all the other 20 servers configured via Group Policy to to download and prompt. No schedule settings. What about "Specify active hours range for auto-restarts" GPO setting? I think you can extend the default range of 12h to 18h. Both is better than nothing.
Pending reboot leave a system in an unstable state depends on the update and should not delayed for an undefined time.
We have many servers that are set to option 4- auto download and install and also no auto restart for logged on users. Our "fix" for this was to disable the scheduled task that causes this reboot to occur. So we created a scheduled task that runs every 30 minutes after PM to 8 AM outside the time you have it set to not restart on updates and during the days when you might pull updates down if you're using WSUS. It runs this to disable the reboot.
Really hoping this isn't an issue with Server We're not going to make any more servers as WU is far too problematic on it, R2 still behaves well with our automation for patching servers. Hello, My solution is simple Microsoft is NOT the solution for servers If its not bad memory management and 'Heavy' unwanted application use For example, why would you have any sort of xbox applications automatically running on servers? Leave Microsoft where they belong, in front of users that need GUI to get work done Im not implying that Microsoft isnt king in the 'User' world, they are without a doubt for most business needs the best for applications and compatibility but do not compare a Windows server lifetime of 30 days before reboot to the Linux machine that will run 4 years while doing updates and never need a restart.
My Explanation is simple in why Microsoft does this Okay I have 18 windows servers and only one of them is restarting. All servers are subject to the same policy of "3 Download and notify for install".
All 18 use WSUS and are subject to the same conf group policy. All other servers was a clean default windows install keeping old settings in. Never done an actual OS upgrade before. What is bothering me is that the community is not all over this.
