Maintenance windows is simply time windows on when maintenance will occur. Administrators can schedule a single or recurring maintenance windows for specific systems or part of a network. An alert is created for all those who are affected to ensure users are aware. Alerts should include details like upcoming date/time, what event will be occurring during the maintenance period, and when it will be finished. When it is completed or it happens to extend, administrators should also create alert rules to let users know that it’s completed or extended and should be archived in a historical folder. Most of the automatic update and maintenance is enabled, so administrators need to disable them. Automatic feature is not very feasible in a operational environment. Also, updates should be tested before being pushed out.
