Execmgr Auto Install Is Set To False
I've managed to use a Baseline Configuration to set business hours for my clients via remediation.
I'd like to do the same/similar for 'Automatically install or uninstall required software and restart the computer only outside of the specified business hours' checkbox.

BACKGROUNDER
We used to install updates as soon as they came in... users don't like it so much when .NET churns their PC for an update, so I set an installation deadline of 7 days from when they are found via ADR.
The settings say 'after deadline - install outside of maintenance window' I have updates that just came into my PC and are saying 'What do you want to do with these'
Well, I'd LIKE these updates to install at the first available maintenance window and I think I need that little box checked, or will they install tonight, whether I do anything or not?

Some clients not TRYING to upgrade to 5.00.8239.1000 after R2->R2SP1 upgrade. Pulling what's left of my hair out.
Execmgr.log Auto Install Is Set To False. Do Nothing
It seems I'm asking for a lot more help than I'm giving these last few weeks, but here goes.
About 10 days ago I upgraded, (seemingly) smoothly to 2012 R2 SP1 (no CU). Because I didn't go to the most recent CU, and then ran into a problem covered by a CU (multi-digit values in my ADRs), and because 1511 came out, our plan is to move -- again -- to 1511 shortly, so I'd like to get my client non-upgrade problem sorted out.
Almost exactly 300 of my 600 machines upgraded to 8239. The other 300 machines I have are still sitting at 7958.
The 300 good machines are a good cross section of my machines. They aren't limited to one DP. The 300 machines that haven't tried to upgrade are also a good cross section, except that my servers are contained. [I assume this is because they're missing a maintenance window, but honestly, I haven't focused on them yet.]
When I look at machines, I see an otherwise unremarkable ccmsetup-ccmeval.log in the ccmsetuplogs folder. It runs every night just after midnight as expected by the check process, but does nothing.
Because I've got plenty of server-to-client power, I had originally set a 1-day deadline for client upgrades. I later turned it off and reset it to 2 days, but nothing happened. It seems, at a glance, that the 300 machines that didn't upgrade are just, well, ignoring me.
On a 'problem' machine, searches for 'client upgrade' across my logs folder shows some of the following:
CcmExec.log
execmgr.log (trimmed)
Obviously this is concerning. Quick searches tell me to make sure that Additional software manages the deployment of applications and software updates is set to 'No' and it is, in my default settings, and it's not overridden in any other policy. ...and, of course 300 other machines upgraded :(
Thoughts? Others places to look?
