Please don't use all uppercase; it makes your posts hard to read.

This is normal. NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers just means that the system won't
restart without getting permission from the logged in user. If there is no
logged in user, the system will restart; if there is a logged in user, the
system will prompt the user to restart.

Note that once updates are installed it is *essential* that the system be
restarted within a reasonable timeframe - the sooner the better.

Recommended procedure for servers is to configure AUOptions to 3, which won't
install the updates until the administrator chooses to do so during a scheduled
outage.

This option prevents display of the "Install updates and shutdown" option when
shutting down the system manually. It has no effect on the action of the client
during scheduled installs.
