Using Azure Update Management to Automate On-Premises Server Patching

Hi DanielMetzger

Thank you for sharing this! I'm using this solution with a customer and it's truly great for updating on-prem servers.

At this moment i'm still experimenting with the pre- and post-scripts. I'm adding Veeam quickbackup and an extra reboot for example.

Do you have any tips/advice on using pre- and post-scripts in an on-prem scenario? For example: I'm using the hybridworker script to put one on-prem server to work and send commands to all the servers involved. Are you using any scripts when deploying?

I'm also still a bit in the dark on the best way to warn people a deployment is scheduled for the servers they're responsible for. The same for reporting about the succeeded/failed deployment afterwards.

As you can read I'm still looking for a lot of information. Do you have any reading-tips? Is there a place where people share thoughts on Azure Update Management (on-prem)?

Kind regards,

Thomas
