Nicholas - Question

[Omar Sanchez]

I don't want the updates to install while users are using
their computers. I was hoping that it would queue the
install since it did not happen at the scheduled time and
restart it upon startup (ala norton anti virus).

Do you know of a better way to roll out updates for many
users on a domain?

Thanks again Nicholas.
