Windws Update scheduled install through GP

[Guest Jim A.]

I have clients setup, through group policy, to download updates from my WSUS

server and install them on Thursday at 6pm. My question is, do these

computers need to remain connected to the network in order to install the

updates?

 

Because I have users who want to take their laptops home with them on

Thursday night, but I am unsure as to whether the update will install if the

computers are not on the network at 6pm.

They will download the updates when they appear in WSU (if they are

connected) e.g Tuesday.

They will install the updates on Thursday at 6:00 or whenever afterwards

they start the machine, regardless of whether they are connected.

They don't need to be connected if they have already downloaded the updates,

Anthony.

Hello Jim A.,

 

They will install later, if they back connected to the networkm and can reach

the WSUS server.
