Howdy,
We've been having trouble getting patching to work on our servers for months. I decided it's time to start over. I've done some searching and have found tons of different people saying they have the best practices and recommended ways of handling patches but they're all different.
I'm using SCCM 2012 R2 and want to setup ADRs so that every month we can set all our servers up to install their Windows Updates. I have a few questions:
- Is there an "Official" tutorial, video, walkthrough of how we should be doing this?
- Is the best way to test this to set something up that is available ASAP but doesn't expire until far in the future? Should I then be able to see the patches in Software Center as available but they just won't actually do anything since the expiration would be way down the road?
- Most of our servers are running 2012 or 2012 r2 and we're just concerned with the standard patches that come out every month.
Thanks for any links, input, advice, etc.
