I consider this tool JUNK in a server environment.
It's a workstation level tool and may be fine for a local install. It requires a PC to be on all the time to run overnight and the options under days are radio buttons, not check boxes, so I can only update once a week. Daily is to annoying and time consuming.
We did allocate 2 machines for this in the past (one for each of 2 different nights) and it mostly worked, but if I have to babysit it, I might as well do it.
This year we have migrated to a Remote Desktop Server environment. As one pretty much needs to reboot to OS after an update and I can not leave that task to a user it's all manual going forward. I have scheduled system downtime for every Wednesday @ at 10 PM.
This needs to be a Windows Service that runs on the server in the background (Scheduled Task). I submitted a detailed proposal on same to support about 3 years ago, but even that will not fix my issue any longer.
