Applying Operating System Updates on Virtual Server
An important part of computer maintenance is ensuring that operating systems and software are
up to date. Updates—known as "fixes," "patches," "service packs," and "security rollup
packages"—help to protect computers and data.
You can use your preferred method for deploying software updates, such as Automatic Updates
or Windows Server Update Services, on computers running Virtual Server that are protected by
DPM and on virtual machines that are protected by DPM. Because some software updates
require a computer restart, you should schedule or perform the updates at times that have the
least impact on protection operations.
