Windows Update in th Production Phase

20 Dec 2014 by Mehdi Gholam

Critical windows updates should be installed as soon as possible, and there is always a period in the day when people don't use the productions system and you can safely patch and restart if necessary (you may have to stay up in the middle of the night!).

How do I troubleshoot live application as users unable to login to system.

29 Jul 2021 by OriginalGriff
