I don't know if anyone is using my WUS.KIX script to apply WSUS patches on a change-window schedule, but it was updated today to utilize SchTask.exe to manage the restart task. We had experienced some "flakey" operation on Windows 2008 R2 using JT.exe.
For those of you who aren't familiar with this, I wrote a UDF library some time ago that uses the AutoUpdate API. It allows tight control over checking, downloading, and installing updates through WSUS. The sample script can be used to insure updates occur in a specific change window instead of at an approximate time on a daily or weekly basis. Using a scheduled task to invoke the script, you can install updates at a specific date and time, such as "the 4th Thursday of every month at 10pm".
Unlike WSUS/Auto Updates, the script continues to install updates even after the reboot, insuring that all updates are applied in a single change window.
The latest rev is available for download in the Products / Admin Toolchest section of my web site. It includes the library and the ready to use script.
