If you're military, try to get DISA involved.
Of interest to me and maybe others is what is the policy for applying Microsoft, Linux, Unix and other operating system fixes to servers in most organizations? Does this differ from the policies for desktops and laptops for the organization? Is there a migration between server environments, system test or equivalent to development to production? I know at home I normally end up applying all fixes to my Windows systems although I normally review them before doing the service install.
