Windows updates automatically rebooting outside of maintenance window
-
I've had two servers now for different clients reboot in the work day when they are scheduled to install updates at 2AM.
In both cases it was the hyper-v host that rebooted and it took down the production server.
Time/date and timezone were set correctly. Anyone else see this happen?
-
What version of Hyper-V?
-
Why do you have any hypervisor set to automatically patch and reboot?

@DustinB3403 Hyper-V 2016
@JaredBusch "a mistake was made"

I have my Hyper-V hypervisors using WSUS, and I simply don't approve any updates for them until my maintenance window.
If you have them set to use a WSUS server only (even if it's a fake one), they won't update. Same with anything.
-
Can you clarify, did Hyper-V reboot on two different physical machines? Or did two VMs get rebooted when one Hyper-V system rebooted?
-
yes - hyper-v rebooted on two different physical hosts at different sites for different customers.
side note - I spun up a Windows 2016 server on Vultr Friday and installed WSUS on it. I took screen shots, so hopefully a guide will follow. I didn't find one - but on the other hand, this hasn't been very complicated either.

I have a wsus 2016 guide / how-to on spiceworks.

Do you have a link? I couldn't find it.
