How to perform Windows Update for Exchange 2016 DAG Cluster

Hello,

 

I need to install windows server security update on Exchange 2016 DAG which require reboot the server.

 

I will install the updates on the first server Tuesday, and the seconde server on Wednesday.

 

I'm wondering if installing patches on separated days may impact Exchange services, also i need to know the steps to follow before restart each server after installing the patch.

    Installing patches on separate days whould be fine. I wouldn't leave it weeks between getting the servers to the same level. Just put each server in maintenance mode prior to patching.
