[cisco-voip] Official Procedure for OS Updates to Unity?

[Jeff Ruttman]

Funny I was just looking into this.  There is this on Cisco's site:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/updates/wizard/2009c
uupwz.html
 
In part it answers your question:
We (Cisco) review the (MS) list and, if the updates are sufficiently
important, create a new wizard. (On average, we create a new wizard
about every two months.) The new wizard includes the existing updates
from previous versions and the new updates that are applicable to any of
the servers
 
If you can just patch directly from MS or what might be the best
practice I don't believe is answered in that doc.
 
Thanks
jeff

Subject: [cisco-voip] Official Procedure for OS Updates to Unity?


We are running Unity 7.0.2 on 7835H1 servers and we have been using the
Unity Server Updates Wizard for the past two years.  Some on our network
team believe that it's OK to automatically download the "regular" OS
patches from Microsoft.  If so, what is the point of the wizard?  Is
there official documentation from Cisco which decides "best practices"?
Thank you!
