Hi and welcome, narok90,

pls. be a bit more precise.
Do you mean the feature is unavailable / grayed out?
If so, pls. check if Autologon.exe is present in your ...\client\bin directory.
If not, pls. re-run download.

Regards

No its not greyed out. And the Autologon file is there.

Basically, I check the options to autoreboot and recall. Run the updates and it will do the first round of updates and it will reboot. However when it reboots it will not recall. Or in other words it does not restart the update process. I have to manually recall the updater and start the updates again. and i have to do this process over and over again to get all of the updates. And each time i run it i make sure the check boxes for auto reboot and recall are checked every time and it still never does it.

Hmm, I haven't seen this for a long time.

Does the target system have a %SystemRoot%\Temp directory?

I ran into a similar issue today. The problem was that my update files were in a directory with a space in the name (C:\Microsoft Updates). The recall batch script in C:\Windows\Temp tried to use the path to resume the update process without surrounding it in quotation marks. Manually modifying the batch script fixed the problem.

How do I apply this "fix?" I am also having this problem since I updated to 7.1. The WouTempAdmin user logs in and then does nothing. I am having to log in as admin to delete the account and do updates without the autoreboot and restart feature.

Please Help.

Good morning,

to keep WSUSOU uptodate, you can download the full trunk manually from here:
http://trac.wsusoffline.net/browser/trunk
At the end of the page is the download "Download in other formats: Zip Archive".

If you want an automatic update, you can use my OU-Updater (see signature).
