Hi,
Because a client request I need to install the latest Windows patches(Automatic Windows Updates), but I need to know if there are a reference about the possible risk of the installation of the patches on UCCE and CVP servers, I mean if exist the possibility of a failure after this installation.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I haven't run into issues with Windows patches over the past year on Windows 2008 R2. I always reboot the servers after installation to verify the services will start normally.
I have had issues with local security policy changes that affect secure communications between servers.

Cisco used to publish approved Microsoft patches but now they don't.
most of the time applying latest patch dont cause any glitches in solution, but i know we had an issue once related to TCP offloading/chimney on UCCE servers.
after patching the setting got reset and set to default, so request to keep an eye on the same.

Thanks for your response,
Do you know something about the patches published this week?
Actually, I just installed those patches (published last February 10) on a Rogger and apparently we don't have issues with that but I need to know if exist some reference provided by Cisco.
regards

Thanks for sharing.
Anyone install Windows patches recently?? My customer is requesting me to install it, too. Any special points to pay attention when installing Windows patches? Any suggestion to minimize the risk?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Below is the Pre check list link for UCS and UCCE level . If you have completed all the UCCE and UCS Pre check list no need to do any additional Microsoft patch update .
As per cisco recommendation we need to disable windows auto update disabled service in services .msc
If have are hitting any bug in future or current setup cisco will give ES or MR patch for resolution .
This procedure describes how to disable NetDMA:
Note: If this registry entry does not exist, right-click Parameters, point to New, click DWORD Value, enter EnableTCPA, and press Enter.
Also, please confirm using the compatibility tool for UCS if all drivers are compatible with your version of ESXi, which is as you mentioned 5.5: http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html
