Yesterday I wrote about our new server which is now up and running nicely hosting a number of Virtual Server, this morning none of them was up and a few sites and applications was down. This was due to that the server had Windows Update set to Automatic which is recommended by the OS - which had led to that the server rebooted. I’ve seen it before so this time I found the resolution quick, but the last time it caused me a headache!
So my recommendation is to never have Windows Update set to automatic! This is not new but take it as a reminder, especially for your servers. The workstations may not suffer that much but imagine that you have left your machine on over the night and you have unsaved data…
