That is a good practice Blazen. I don't know how many times I have seen updates fix minor problems and install major new problems at the same time. In my opinion, it is not limited to servers though. The MS OS of today is somewhat more stable than those of a few years ago. All technology resources are not candidates for full automation, at least not at this stage of technology maturity.Blazen wrote:For the most part these are good. At the desktop level, I agree, but at the server level, no. Some of these updates break things. Critical servers I always do by hand, non-critical, I normally let the auto update handle it.Automatic updates are a good thing!
WSUS is a good thing, once you get it set up correctly and you get your GPO's set right as well...
Most of the problems I run into can be categorized as a "short between the keyboard and the user". Some electronic technicians might refer to that as an "open" instead of "short".
