Windows2008 Patching (patching)

We all know that the Windows Server needs to be patched, or the loophole that is called more ah. The Windows family of servers patching is just two ways:

1. Patching over the Internet:

1. Go to control panel->windows update->hit ' Check for Updates '
2. Go to control panel->windows Update->hit ' Check online for updates from Windows Update '
3. After completing the above tasks you receive the availabe ' Install updates for computer '
4. Go to control panel->windows update->hit ' numbers important Update is available '
5. Unselect the package for you, don ' t want to update and hit ' OK '
6. Then hits ' Install Updates ', then it starts downloading the patches and install it automatically.
7. Once installation is completed, instead for install updates you'll get the option to restart.

2. Patching via WSUS: (can be used with SCCM)

1. Set up a domain environment, of course you have to install and configure AD
2. Install a WSUS server, the specific steps do not write, many online
3. Join the client to the domain environment
4. Go to control Panel->windows update->change Settings, (check if you setings block by Domain Admin, gpupdate/force )
5. Go to control panel->windows update->hit ' Check for Update managed by your system administrator ' (from WSUS)
6. Then hits ' Install Updates ', then it starts downloading the patches and install it automatically. (which patches are already configured in the WSUS server to be installed)
7. Once installation is completed, instead for install updates you'll get the option to restart.

3. Directories and logs used by clients when patching

C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.txt (Logging Windows client whether patched from where to hit the patch)

2. Log patterns that are patched over the internet
