Automatically patching Exchange Server with minimal downtime using WSUS 3.0 ?

Hi All,

How can I perform automated Exchange Server 2010 patching with just using WSUS 3.0 ?

Scope: I just need to deploy Windows Update to all of my Exchange Servers after hours without reboot every 2 monthly, but I just have WSUS 3.0 configured in my AD domain, no SCCM.

How can I schedule and configure it so that when the updates applied after hours, the Exchange Server email flow still works without problem.

Or does the Exchange Server 2010 must be manually patched cannot be automated ?

Thanks All,

But what in looking for is the Exchange server OS Windows update not the Service Pack or the CU.

Does the Windows Update deployment for The Operating system where the Exchange Server is running can cause outage to the Exchange server services ?

The reboot will be done manually in sequence it the Windows Update deployment will be simultaneously.
