Has anyone created a policy specifically for patching MS SQL servers?
Answer
MS SQL Patching
Best answer by ChrisW-Automox
We haven’t created a policy like that yet, but I have a feeling we will soon. Some DBAs are hesitant to take SQL Server patches right away.
I would create a “Patch Only” policy and filter the list for anything with the words “SQL Server”. From there, select the patches you want to allow to be deployed.
Those patches come through Windows Update, so they should get applied automatically to any Windows machine that qualifies. You shouldn’t need a special policy that differs from your normal Windows policy. Does that give you what you need? Or are you wanting to do something different specifically with your MS SQL servers?
