Windows update

Not sure why, but recently Windows Update is rebooting my server at night
after an update. In XP it is clear where to turn this setting off but I
don't know where it is located on the SBS server. Can someone help? It
really screws up the works when the server reboots itself.

That's a Group Policy setting

Edit the Update Services GPO and go to 'Computer Configuration
|Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Update'

On the right panel click on 'Configure Automatic Updates'. Change the
setting from 4 to 3. Event better create a new GPO only for the server, add
the server computer there and give the setting 3. For the workstations you
can have them on 4, to auto-install and reboot sometime after midnight.

In Control Panel under Automatic Updates you can adjust the settings, same
as XP.

I missed that one. I thought to look under security but there was no security
folder in the control panel for SBS. Didn't even think about autoupdt...
thanks.
