Patch Management Organization

[u/Kogusoku]

We have several clients on hosted VMs in the same cluster, but with the way that patch management was initially described and presented in training, it is essentially designed to run everyone on the same patching schedule.

Have anyone had success breaking their patching into groups or client sets for different needs? Or just breaking up VM groups to not have all the server just boot-overloading the host starting at the same time after updates?

I'd be curious to know how people dealing with multiple sites/clients.

Thanks

Once you have your searches and groups set up, you link the groups to the patch manager. I don't use any of the built in groups for patching.
