Pushing updates to Win7 client laptops

-

we have mix of winxp/win7 client laptops in our enterprise. wsus pushes updates once per month friday 3:00am per our gpo (after we approve updates on prior thursday afternoon.) winxp provides the option power down pc w/o installing updates understand this option not exist win7 , therefore win7 clients in office on thursday after updates have been approved have sit through update install process upon shutting down machine. question is, there way prevent happening win7 users?

thanks!

this matter of user wanting shutdown machine @ end of workday can go home. referring laptop users here. on thursday when have approved updates - when run issue.

ahhh!.... understand. that can particularly nasty scenario on notebook if user not paying attention, , yes, notebook users, have wait around installations finish , machine moved.

my best suggestion here create (if don't have) orgunit notebook systems, , set policy setting permanently turn off "install updates @ shutdown" capability.

another option: hibernation great alternative if machine merely taken home , powered on shortly thereafter.
