Procedure for patching live systems

[Stephen Boyd]

Hi,

Could someone please direct me to a good template I could use to generate our own procedure incorporating best practice for patching live systems?

Alternately is there someone who would be willing to share the procedure they use in their own company?

Thanks in advance, greatly appreciate it.

I suppose you are worried about reboots. You can schedule restarts after updates with Group Policy.

I hope they can be useful to you.
