Yes, I did reboot the clients. As a matter of fact to make
sure the GPO is applied I used the command GPRESULT and
the it stated that the Registry has received that
particular GPO.
The Automatic Update Applet in the Control Panel is
inactive and has received the setting of the GPO
I also had a look at the %windir%\Windows Update.log. The
schedule set in the GPO is daily at 2PM. Following is part
of the log. As you can see the time is 7AM; this is when I
restarted my computer. I wonder why this does not go
according to the schedule set.
