Server Restart - Active Hours
I have all my servers (Windows Server 2016, Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393) setup through GPO to run Windows Updates every Tuesday night and then restart outside of active hours (6am-6pm). However, the servers never restart on their own outside of active hours. They show the available updates and have the "Install Now" button. Then there is the message that the servers will restart outside of Active Hours, however, the servers never restart. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
What Happens Outside "Active Hours?"
While looking at the features and functionality of autopatch, I'm being asked for more detailed information on behaviors related to "Active Hours", but more specifically what happens outside of active hours. (Please let me know if additional information is required to answer this) Example: It's 21:30p, the device active hours are being automatically set (05:00a to 20:00p) and a quality update is discovered and installed that requires a reboot to complete. if I'm still interacting with the host, will it try and reboot because its technically outside of active hours? Will it provide a warning or option to pause, reschedule, etc? What is the expected behavior? Does the windows host recognize that activity is occurring and wait until a specific point in time outside of active hours? How best can I explain what happens outside of active hours to the rest of the team so they will better understand expected behaviors? Thank you in advance,
