Hi,
I have a server running windows update and I'm also using a the Group policy. Is there a way that after the windows updates are installed on the clients computer to surpress the restart now or restart later options the client would see once the updats are downloaded and installed on the computer. I would like to do this via the group policy but I may be over looking the option to do this. I know I can delay the reappearance of the restart now or restart later option once it appears, but I would like to surpress it all together.Any help would be appreciated.

The two options offered are the do not restart and increasing the delay. You've found those.

The only way to completely stop the messages from appearing is to stop the windowsupdate service after the patches have been applied. Most likely not an option in an corporate environment.

So no, I don't think you can surpress it all together. Microsoft is well aware of the issue as it is somewhat of a hot item in the community.
