Re: Windows O/S Patching Question

["Basgen, Brian" <bbasgen () PIMA EDU>]

That depends on the patch and our exposure to it. Every patch Tuesday, we review all patches with our desktop and 
server groups and develop a game plan for the patches as a whole, and identify any particular patches that require 
special attention.

Subject: [SECURITY] Windows O/S Patching Question

Hi All,

Quick Question: If Windows were to release a critical patch for a server today, how long should it take to install the 
patch before you'd consider it TOO long?

Thanks,
