Hi All,

  I have a general question of the community on how everyone does their 
patching. Here is what my company does....

Update the repository once a month on Microsoft Patch Tuesday. Keep that as a 
baseline for the entire month so DEV, Test and Prod systems are patched exactly 
alike. While this works pretty well, I do find some issues with it. Like when 
an Errata's come out - My repository is not updated until the next month. Which 
in turn I can miss out on patches which should or need to be installed and 
unless I'm on the mailing lists, I'll miss it. I have heard you can clone a 
channel and use that as a baseline and use the regular channel to keep 
everything updated.

So my question is, how does everyone else do this and do I have the correct 
approach to clone the channel and use that as my baseline for the patching and 
if need be, put the servers in the main group for any errata's that come up.

I would love to hear everyone thoughts on this.

Thanks!

Glen Collins
