syparon Posted September 10, 2015 Report post Posted September 10, 2015 Gents, I think I did not manage to work with maintenance windows and I have some questions : - Why am I seeing software updates in the software center during a maintenance window ? - Why can I still install updates from the software center during a MW ? - Is there a way to make a software update available only during the MW ?

Peter van der Woude Posted September 10, 2015 Report post Posted September 10, 2015 The whole idea of using maintenance windows is to only install automatically during those windows. Depending on the configuration it's can still be possible to install the updates manually via Software Center, when available. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dverbern Posted October 6, 2015 Report post Posted October 6, 2015 Some types of updates can install outside maintenance windows, such as Forefront Definition updates. At least, thats my understanding. Otherwise machines could go a month or more before updating antimalware definitions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickolajA Posted October 7, 2015 Report post Posted October 7, 2015 It's all about the deployment and how you'd configure its setting to adhere to the configured maintenance window. The deployment deadline also plays a huge role in a successful configuration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
