SOLVED WSUS Policies for Auto Installation

[Keshav]

Hi,
I have a requirement to automatically patch a specific computer group on second Friday of every moth.
I want these computers to download and install approved updates at specific time and reboot CONTINUOUSLY unless they find zero updates.

Q1. Apart from below policies, which other policy do i need to configure..

-Client side targeting
-specifying WSUS server
-configure automatic updates with option 4


Q2. Also, Is it possible by a WSUS agent on the machine to query for updates and install once in a month as i understand based on the "configured automatic updates with option 4" policy it will try to look for updates again next week on Friday.

Thanks in Advance...

I would recommend using SCCM to automate the updates deployment. With WSUS it would be really difficult, SCCM handles the updates deployment better than WSUS.
