I have clients setup, through group policy, to download updates from my WSUS
server and install them on Thursday at 6pm. My question is, do these
computers need to remain connected to the network in order to install the
updates?

Because I have users who want to take their laptops home with them on
Thursday night, but I am unsure as to whether the update will install if the
computers are not on the network at 6pm.

They will download the updates when they appear in WSU (if they are
connected) e.g Tuesday.
They will install the updates on Thursday at 6:00 or whenever afterwards
they start the machine, regardless of whether they are connected.
They don't need to be connected if they have already downloaded the updates,
Anthony.

Hello Jim A.,

They will install later, if they back connected to the networkm and can reach
the WSUS server.
