Hmmm, not realy a balanced argument from an organisation with a business in patch management!
For a more balanced view (IMO) - we the last 5 years have tried WSUS, LANDesk and SCCM and ultimately those are just patch install and management applications - they all do pretty much the same thing (now that WSUS and SCCM can deploy 3rd party updates). Patch/update testing is essential, but there is nothing any IT dept can do to be CERTAIN that updates will not cause issues - there is always some risk if you do, some risk if you dont. Andy its a question of balancing update priority (i.e zero day and how easily exploitatble in your environment) with the potential problems cause to clients/servers. -
