We are implementing WSUS in a Horizon View VDI environment. This questions will be just pertaining to updating dedicated VMs within this VDI environment. OS is Windows 10 1803
We have the following regedit entries
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
- WUServer - server URL
- WUStatusServer - same as above
- TargetGroupEnabled - 1
- SetActiveHours - 1
- SetEngagedRestartTransitionSchedule - 1
- EngagedRestartDeadline - 2
- EngagedRestartSnoozeSchedule - 2
- EngagedRestartTransitionSchedule - 2
- TargetGroup - Target Group Name
- ActiveHoursStart - 7
- ActiveHoursEnd - 18
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\
- NoAutoUpdate - 0
- UseWUServer - 1
- AUOptions - 4
- DetectionFrequency - 22
- DetectionFrequencyEnabled - 1
- AllowMMUpdateService - 1
- ScheduledInstallDay - 3
- ScheduleInstallTime - 3
With these setting, the VM registers itself with the WSUS server and computer group. It will download any needed update, and install at the appropriate time. I had set these settings wanting to do engaged restart. IT is my understanding that if the user is logged in it will prompt for a restart - if the user is not logged in it will reboot outside of active hours. This will be within the EngagedRestartDeadline (my purpose - 2 days). Then after two days, it will attempt to notify the user to schedule the reboot, allowing the user to 'snooze this' during the EngagedRestartSnoozeSchedule (again, with my settings two days). After this period, it will change to a pending reboot (again, for my settings, two days). However, I am not getting any notifications. Do I need to add other settings for the notifications within the Engaged Restart process?
