We use SCCM 2007 and have scheduled patch windows for our servers. This gives us control over what patches get applied and lets us have a small pilot patch deployment to uncover any issues before the whole fleet is patched. It also give the business a set expectation of outages that they can plan around (our data centers run 24x7). -Malcolm

We are debating not using WSUS due to internal policy and reboot issues but could adjust the server policy to not allow the reboot. Does anyone allow the server to get updates directly? The issue I have with that is the administrative rights needed to apply the patches and or/access them. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
