Automate the update of Windows Server R2 2012

Hi all

I am currently looking for a method to update automatically to our servers. Rather than use Windows update to install and reboot servers, I want to be able to automate the download and install the updates, but to impose when the server reboots automatically. I know that WSUS automatically installs updates but I don't think there is a way to control when the server should restart. Also apart from that, I know that servers come online without having to login to them manually. I think that the only way to go about this is with a script.

Any help or insight is most appreciated. Thank you.

    Is this cold backup and sufficient archives, for the exact replica of primary education

    You can recover up to cancel if something happened.

    Do I have to take the backup of the primary database as cold before the primary.

    always always take backup before any operation.

    Hello

    I installed windows server 2012 R2 on IIS, SQL Server, TFS and some other products from Microsoft. After finished installing, I ran the update of windows asking to restart the installation.

    After restart, update continues up to 9%, then it stops forever!

  • Service Update Manager 5.5 crashing on Windows Server R2 2012

    Hello

    I try to get VUM 5.5 1 c working on a Windows Server R2 2012, but without a bit of luck.

    Everything installs correctly, Setup detects 32-bit DSN pointing to our SQL 2008 R2 server and database connectivity works. However, as soon as I am scanning an ESXi host available updates the vSphere VMware Update Manager service fails and a dmp file is created under C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware update Manager\Logs.

    Just to be sure I installed Crossover on another server in W2K12R2 own, but the end upwards with exactly the same problem. When I install the product on a Windows Server 2008 R2, it works very well.

    According to the VMware 5.5 VUM compatibility matrix works with W2K12R2, but this isn't for me.

    I enclose the vum-vmware-server log file that contains information about the accident of service.

We have already allowed group policy by default on the management of the user rights that allow remote only for domain administrators. We did not refuse access, because the new user must be added to each new user creation. We do not want to use distribution of the Group deny. is it possible to access remotely to DC?
