Navigating the Challenges of Microsoft
Patching in IT Management

Asset Discovery: Knowing What Needs Patching

Before you can patch any system, you need to know what exists within your environment. Utilizing local domain environments or Azure Active Directory, organizations can establish robust systems for tracking all devices and applications. Implementing DNS scavenging and creating targeted discovery jobs will ensure that you have a comprehensive list of assets that require attention.

Balancing Security and Stability

The timing of patch deployment is critical. Microsoft typically releases patches on the second Tuesday of each month. It is advisable to delay patch approval to monitor user feedback, ensuring stability while maintaining security. Develop distinct schedules for servers and workstations to minimize disruptions while keeping systems secure.

Streamlining Compliance and Efficacy

Achieving patching compliance can be labor-intensive, particularly for small IT teams. By automating patch installations and implementing aggressive scheduling to address missed updates, organizations can maintain a high level of efficacy with minimal manual effort. Regular monitoring of patch status and quick intervention for any issues will further streamline the process.
