Re: best practices "Danny Sanders" <DSanders[ at ]NOSPAMciber.com> 12/17/2008 2:30:27 PM Create a test group of servers (development servers) and test computers. Use WSUS to apply the patches to the test group first. Test the development servers and the test group of computers to make sure the patch does not break anything before applying it to the production servers and the rest of the computers. Of course for this to work you have to have development servers that are set up the same as the production servers. hth DDS "NT" <nt29[ at ]community.nospam> wrote in message news:uOWdIzEYJHA.684[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

What you want to do is test the patches before you apply them to production. If you don't have test servers you can use, I would look through these news groups soon after patch release Tuesday and check to see if others are having problems with the patches and how they recovered from them. It's not ideal, you can still have problems. I would strongly suggest using Virtual server to host a virtual copy of your most important servers for testing. hth DDS "NT" <nt29[ at ]community.nospam> wrote in message news:0E59812B-EFC2-4D23-9228-D841E14B8085[ at ]microsoft.com... > thanks for the answer > > but i havn't test server so what else for my servers ? > > nicolas > > "Danny Sanders" <DSanders[ at ]NOSPAMciber.com> a écrit dans le message de > news:%23JopsPFYJHA.5312[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> Create a test group of servers (development servers) and test computers. >> Use WSUS to apply the patches to the test group first.
