The process of patching servers is simple: 1) pre-patch things you do 2) patch 3) post-patch things you do. Unfortunately, we can really only attempt to answer #2 (hence product recommendations). #1 and #3 will differ in every environment. And even #2 is very localized in its actual implementation. | |

And that, since the question has an accepted answer, that's pretty solid evidence the original asker's problem was solved. It just bugged me that, despite the fact that the question asked "How did you do X", everyone just decided to answer the question "What did you use to do X", which isn't really the same thing, and now the question's locked that can't be rectified. TL;DR? Your argument is a fair one. | |
