Epicor and Windows Updates

I do the same thing.  Typically on Sunday, since we don’t work that day, yet.

Even though we have never run into an issue with Windows updates and Epicor.  We don’t have them applied automatically.  We will do manual scheduled downloads and install after hours about once a month, and then install them, then reboot the servers.

We have had issues, but we also have custom applications that interact between Epicor / ADP and our production floor.  Last week the updates crashed one of our servers. We try to apply them ourselves, not automatic to keep the impact down, but obviously can still miss.

Hi All,

I was wondering what the consensus is when it comes to keeping Windows Server up to date on your ERP server (9 or 10).
Do you take the approach of always keep Windows Server updated? If yes, have you ever run into an update that created a problem with Epicor?
Do you take the approach of, if it’s not broke don’t fix it, and don’t apply updates?
Or do you take a different approach? For example, review each update and only apply certain ones.

If your server is connected to the outside world then I would say keep it up to date. I've never had an issue with widows update breaking Epicor. But if your server is isolated to your internal network and no out side traffic can really get to it... then its not such a big deal.

Until an internal client utilizes an exploit and brings your system down.

 

Critical Security Windows Updates should be applied in a managed way with defined maintenance windows. At the minimum Monthly.

 

Unfortunately the fact is it is broke (that’s why they patched it) it’s just it has not hit the fan yet.
