Hello all,

Originally update Manager was installed inside of VC 2.5 and it immediately started downloading updates which caused a very large bandwidth problem at our local office. During which someone tried to stop the VMware Update Manager service and it caused a problem with the Virtual Center Server service which in turn corrupted the VC DB. Needless to say, another instance of VirtualCenter 2.5 will be installed on a fresh box but I need to know if I can schedule the updates to download during non-business hours after the initial install. I wasn't the one who installed VC initially so I'm trying to get all the info up front so that there isn't another bandwidth problem during business hours.

Thanks to all who reply!
