Unexpected install of KB2821895 via Windows Update leads to unexpected reboot
hi all
windows update set via group policy schedule and install updates on sun @ 7 on virtualization hosts (gpresult /h shows setting set correctly).
suddently today virtualization hosts rebooted unexpectedly. looking @ event log shows following reason:
log name: system
source: microsoft-windows-windowsupdateclient
date: 14.06.2013 09:57:51
event id: 22
task category: automatic updates
level: information
keywords: reboot
user: system
computer: virtualsrv.domain.com
description:
restart required: complete installation of following updates, computer restarted within 15 minutes:
- update windows server 2012 (kb2821895)
i checked if update (kb2821895) has deadline on windows update server, there no deadline set.
i therefore wonder why server initiated install @ 09:57 today instead of waiting until sunday 7am?
thanks reading

ps: looks reason described in kb2835627 (which myself have commented here) - since admin logged in, 15 minute restart countdown starting running.
in short - wsus w/o additional software broken in windows server 2012. pointed out in post, update system broken "because in gpo automatic maintenance activation boundary group policy have option define time , not install day. additionally if choose automatic updates in control panel select configuration option can choose time not day result updates installed daily."
