Ron,

What I usually do is download the updates to the WSUS server, then use Group
Policy to configure all servers to download (but not install) the updates.
Then I manually install/reboot in an order that minimizes specific downtimes
of services.

Then again, I don't have 150 boxes. It may be in your best interests to
schedule them via Group Policy to auto-install and reset -- perhaps not all
at once but in blocks?

Hiya all,

We have been testing with this new WSUS from MS.
All seems fine -;)
My question is how to handle the server reboots after a installed
security patch which requires a reboot.
We hold about 150 servers, mixed Exchange, reverse proxy, Sql etc.etc.
Whats the best way to manage this ?

Thanks
Ronald Balk
