Hey Checkyourlogs Fans,
I just wanted to do a quick post on the success of using Azure Update Manager to connect to on-prem Machines for Patch Management. As with many of us, I’m in charge of Patch Tuesday for our customer base. This solution is working amazingly for us.
One of the things I like is the ease of classifying different types of updates. For example, we want definition updates to be installed several times daily and to be able to split up patch groups between pilot servers, DEV, TST, Domain Controllers, etc. Then, create associated schedules. For those who want to remain in control of the patching process, it is as simple as kicking off manual updates to selected machines from the Azure Portal.
This solution is returning many valuable hours to our operations teams, and I highly suggest you check it out.
Thanks,
Dave
