Why did users get a log OFF message after WSUS GPO was applied?

[Rich Gouette (rgouette)]

The issue: My companies users received the following earlier today:





What changed? I had added our "WSUS Servers" Group Policy to a group of servers in our farm, which included our 3 RDS servers.

What is the policy about? The GPO sets Windows Updates to “Auto download and notify for install”, and sets the URL

to get them from(local server)

Steps I took: I linked the WSUS GPO to the few remaining OU's that weren't part of the WSUS GPO.
I set the GPO to "Enforced", and then ran a "Group Policy Update" on the OU's, using Group Policy Management

console.


The WSUS GPO has no "User Configuration" settings.. and so , I didn't expect any user interaction to take place.

Any idea why the end users would have gotten this?


Thanks,

Rich
