Does anyone know how to use GP to schedule an automatic
reboot? I want to install SP3 on all PC's using GP but
want it to happen in the middle of the night so it does
not interfere with users. Thanks.
 
Hello.

Once the Group Policy has been implemented to install SP3, you could simply
schedule a reboot of the clients for the middle of the night. For instance,
this could be a script to reboot these clients at staggered times during the
night...
There is no built-in method to schedule software installations in Group
Policy.

However, you may want to review the capabilities of the free service,
Software Update Services, which can be deployed in your enterprise:
