Windows Server 2008 R2
there has been an objection from our development team in having to constantly restart the servers every time there's a security update that comes along. what is being proposed is to apply the updates once a month only so as not to disturb the users. I understand where they are coming from since we've heard of MS patches before that did more problems that solutions.
I could setup a test environment but that would mean having to duplicate all our production servers just to cover all the bases.
I would like to know if such proposal is practical (postponing the security patches) and "safe" since I've always restarted servers every time there is a security patch.
appreciate any help.
