  • Deploying applications as software updates

    Have you ever needed to decide how to deploy an application that requires a reboot? Has a manager ever asked if you can deploy it as a software update, using the same notification and scheduling options? I've faced both, and I'm sure most SMS admins have as well. SMS doesn't lend itself to...

  • Reboot before patching

    We've all experienced users that blame absolutely everything on patching.

  • Unexpected reboots when patching

    Have you ever had users complain that their computer rebooted unexpectedly about the time you deployed patches? Maybe it gave them a brief warning, but no chance to postpone? We ran into that, and it took a fair bit of digging to get the answer. We found out that one of the first things that the patch...

  • Baseline Patching

    Do you concentrate just on applying the latest updates? Do you figure that once last month's patches are done you can forget about them? If so, you are leaving some machines vulnerable without realizing it. Every time an application is installed, or uninstalled and reinstalled, there may be appropriate...
