Why did my servers start observing client update policy overnight?


i did search , cannot find on this.  perhaps not using correct terms.

i have 2 windows 2008 servers (1 sbs2008, 1 standard) set via gpo download updates not install them.  has been working fine.

this morning, when logged each of them, updates had been automatically installed , reboot nag window up.  checked windows update settings on each, , set install updates automatically.  went policies , verified still set (servers not set install automatically).  went sbs2008 console , verified machines assigned correct computer groups.

i person administering gpo on these servers, , thing changed yesterday added 4 other machines server computer group (not windows server os's, machines decided should not update automatically).

thanks in advance can provide.

found solution in thread (better luck searches today) , appears have solved issue:

final update: ok, found out problem. in gpmc scope tab security filtering section both "update services client computers policy" and "update services server computers policy" besides relevant (and correct) computers being listed there group "authenticated users" listed. being novice @ gpos, did not realize "authenticated users" group cause gpo applied domain computers. when created gpos, default group must populated in new gpo , failed remove them. note that "authenticated users" should present in security filtering section for the "update services common settings policy" gpo , should not present in "update services client computers policy" and "update services server computers policy" gpos. hope information helpful makes same error did when manually creating these gpos.
