Deploying Windows Server updates on few select Windows Server in OU in SCCM 2007 R3

Hi Folks,

Assuming that the existing SCCM 2007 R3 infrastructure has already been implemented,
Can anyone here please share some instructions and steps that I need to follow to safely and successfully deploy Windows Update for few selected Windows Server OS within specific OU only not all ?

Because I need to perform updates on different time frame for each OU:

Test and Development Windows Server group WIndows Update deployment and reboot maintenance period Saturday 8 AM - 1 PM only.

Production Windows Server group WIndows Update deployment and reboot maintenance period Sunday 8 AM - 8 PM only.

How and where to configure that on the SCCM Console ?

Thanks.

Hi,
You can create collections on SCCM based on Servers OU then implement updates on the collections and regarding time of deployment you have two methods: Configure Maintenance Window on server collection or configure deployment time by group policy.

Hi man,

I'd like to know what are the difference between those two ?

Configure Maintenance Window on server collection
Configure deployment time by group policy

Thanks for the clarification Abdul.

So in this case which option should I be paying extra attention to avoid SCCM deploying updates in the wrong time frame and rebooting the server immediately ?
