Multiple patch reboot schedules

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hello,
Has anyone had the need for multiple or staggered reboot schedules in the patch solution? We need to stagger and/or randomize our reboots for certain sectors of the business. How can this be done without maintaining several cloned Software Update Policies?
An example would be a filter of computers checks in, but we don't want them ALL to resart at the same time. How to stagger that?
Thanks
Todd

Hi Todd,
You may use Default Software Update Plug-in Policy - it may be cloned and then be configured for specific targets.
1. Make clone of Default Software Update Plug-in Policy(Note: it is not recommended to generate clone of Default Software Update Plug-in Policy from another clone - please make clones from original Default Software Update Plug-in Policy)
2. Specify targets for each cloned policy (please ensure that targets include computers with installed Software Update Plug-in)
3. Configure default reboot schedule for each cloned policy.
Hope this helps,
Roman
Ok, good to know. I have it configured that way already, but wanted to see if there was a more unified way instead of maintaining several install/reboot policies. Thank for your confirmation.
