NT 4.0 Patches: Protection and Prevention
Overview In systems administration, as in comedy, timing is everything. It used to be easy to decide when to deploy a service pack or hot fix for any operating system: If your site was experiencing problems, you'd start patching; otherwise, you'd do nothing until age and wisdom proved the patch to be a cure and not a new disease. Nowadays, though, pervasive connectivity and security concerns make it trickier to judge when to stay current with hot fixes and security patches. Do you install the latest and greatest patch--possibly afflicted with the newest and scariest bugs--or do you wait for some other guinea pig to try its luck first? Patch strategies for Windows NT 4.0 or any other OS involve a couple of different areas, including lab testing, roll-out tactics and consistency planning.
