Environment is SCCM 2012 R2. Client has a couple thousand servers spread out
through various patch collections having a maintenance window for each
collection, but the maintenance window is different from collection to
collection. Furthermore, the server owners are able to move their servers from
one MW collection to another using a web interface, but that shouldn't be
overly related.
Knowing how MWs work and that they work the same as in CM07, what's to stop a
server owner from entering the Software Center and setting their business hours
From 12:00 AM through 12:00 AM for all days, AND checking the box
"Automatically install or uninstall required software and restart the computer
only outside of the specified business hours? Would that mean that the server
would never get patched. Is this an accurate assumption, or am I missing
something?
I realize there are powershell and vb scripts that can set the business hours,
but am curious how others are patching servers and dealing with the business
hours.
Thanks,-S
