[c-nsp] Maintenance - Change Management Policies

[christopher.a.kane at jpmchase.com]

Our collective NSP/ISP experiences show that emphatically advertising 
standing maintenance windows provided for great flexibility when it came 
to configuration changes and cleanups. Does 0300-0600 Local sound 
familiar?

For those of us within the Enterprise space and dealing with 
infrastructures between 5,000 to upwards of 20,000 nodes - I'm curious to 
know the various flavors of maintenance schedules. I'd like to hear about 
your current processes, what works and what the challenges are. Do you 
have standing windows globally, per Business Unit, per portion of the 
infrastructure?

If you care to respond off-list, I can compile and post. 

Thanks,
-chris
