Automatic Updates won't start

Hello everyone,

I'm not using WSUS for now because I don't have the time to set it up, so I
decided to use Automatic Updates on all the computers of my domain. At the
beginning, I've tested it with one computer and it worked well. The updates
were installed automatically and the user logged on the computer had no
choice but to reboot his computer after 5 minutes (like it's suppose to do).
So, seeing that it was working, I have configured all the computers to update
automatically at 8pm, so the computers could reboot without disturbing the
work of anybody.

But since new updates are available to download (since June 14?), not 1
computer has installed the updates and rebooted. Only 1 computer has the
option Install updates and ShutDown when clicking Start --> Shutdown, but it
did not reboot by itself... I've started Services.msc to check if the AU
service was started, and it is! So to test AU again, I've scheduled 1
computer to update automatically at 10am this morning, and nothing happened.
Here's the log I get in the WindowsUpdate.log file:

2005-06-16 10:00:09-0400 1080 730 AU received event of 1
2005-06-16 10:00:09-0400 1080 730 Forced install timer expired for scheduled
install
2005-06-16 10:00:09-0400 1080 730 Setting AU scheduled install time to
2005-06-17 14:00:00
2005-06-16 10:12:12-0400 1080 43c Service received logon notification
2005-06-16 10:12:12-0400 1080 730 AU received event of 3

Does it matter if no one was logged on the computer at that time?

Please, HEEEEELP ME!!! :)
