Windows Updates – recommend log off but leave computers on on Friday

Kia ora koutou

ITS have sent through a reminder about Windows Updates that will be installed after 10pm this Friday.  As usual they’re recommending staff log off but leave their computers on when they leave work on Friday.

Staff and postgraduates with Windows PCs using SCCM will have the updates available in software centre from 6pm Friday 18 September.  The updates will install automatically after 10pm Friday 25 September and a restart will be enforced during the update process.
If a computer is off or in sleep mode overnight, updates will be installed the next time the computer is powered on. 

In order to ensure Windows computers patch smoothly, we recommend staff and postgraduates log out of their computers when they finish work for the week.
