Looking for patching schedule best practices
I'm looking for documents about patching schedule best practices. I saw a KKE were it is recommended to make a daily detection and a weekly detect & deploy. But i can't find papers that explain this.
So if you have some, I'm interested in you share.
Thank you.

is it possible to apply same patches that applied to test machines(10-20 Machines ) and later apply the same patches to end user machines without Smart Labels, as i want to make sure Patches are not causing any issues and later deploy same patches to user machines, - rahimpal 6 years ago

Thank you for the link.
There's lot of good informations, but nothing about scheduler timing good choices. Should we detect and deploy needed patchs daily ? Making multiple detect schedule, one for critical, one for recommended...
That's what I'm lokking for. - gwir 8 years ago-
I patch Windows Updates (critical and recommended) once per week and perform a Detect and Deploy at that time. I patch Flash/Reader/Shockwave/AIR on a different day, also doing Detect and Deploy. I do these after hours. - rockhead44 8 years ago

Is it a rule you define yourself ? - gwir 8 years ago

Yes. I use smart labels to ID the patches and then create patch schedules where I target machines (also smart labels). - rockhead44 8 years ago
