Windows 2008 WUS reboots


hello,

i have several dozens of windows 2008 r2 servers configured updates local wus box. reason after recent security patche release 2008 servers started install , reboot though wus registry configure to:  "automatically download , notify of installation"  (auoptions=3)

this "phenomenon" happening only on windows 2008 servers...  2003 behaving expected.

is else experiencing this?  ideas how prevent this?

thanks!  sigitas

the servers are configured gpo. the interesting part these servers behaved expected last 2 years and out of blue started installing patches , initiated reboots in middle of day. please note the reboots occurred randomly in middle of day, not @ 3am , happened win2008 hosts…

sounds enabled deadline on a windows server 2008 update.

post windowsupdate.log entries actual installation event on 1 of these servers. if deadlines factor, log entries confirm that.
