How often should you update Windows servers?

We review, approve and deploy Windows Updates on a monthly basis for our servers. Some updates require a restart and I would recommend you do when needed. Other updates can be applied without interruption in service. At least check the Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification prior to each Patch Tuesday.

When should you update servers?

Microsoft releases a batch of updates for Windows at least once a month on what has been termed “Patch Tuesday” (the second Tuesday of each month). These are important updates to protect your servers and may even provide additional functionality. When it comes to patching your servers, it can be very nerve-wracking.
