Hello Joseph,
What I'm looking for is more in-depth understanding of Server patching with
SCCM. Trying to improve my processes.
@ Kent I saw that class and I was thinking of that, I have enjoy the other
classes you taught...great stuff thank you!
All,
I have about 3k servers, I have them broken down into 4 major areas, pilot,
development, test, and Production. 80% of these are automated patch/reboot
scenario.
The other 20% is a manual reboot by me of other SME's.
A SharePoint site for two purposes,
1. Every server across the enterprise (as it is built) gets a code identifier
(patch code) which tells all when it is schedule for patch reboot etc. {this
lives in our CMDB}
2. Calendar on the SharePoint site shows a visual of patch codes so any SME can
know when said server patch code is schedule for this process.
Again, trying to make my process better, we have begun to use Orchestrator to
build out the run books so as to automate the rest of the 20%
I hope this helps you understand the goal~
Thank you all for your comments
Phil

What exactly are you asking?
Server patching is pretty straight-forward. Have a test collection, apply the
patches there first, if everything goes well, deploy to your production
environment. We suppress the reboots here, and I do reboots manually, SQL
boxes first, then web, then apps, etc. We've historically had issues with apps
not reconnecting to their databases if we don't reboot in order.
