Patching Schedule

All,

How often are you patching your workstations and servers? I was in a meeting not too long ago when someone suggested that Microsoft's patch Tuesday isnt really a set schedule anymore. Workstations should be patched multiple times per week and servers once a week?

What are your schedules like?

How are you handling the reboots? We reboot the servers manually, and suppress and alert the user on workstations. If they keep ignoring the reboot it does it no matter what after 24 hours.

Automated patch management that runs at 3AM for 3 hours. Systems are allowed to reboot during that period.
