Change Automatic Update on the SharePoint Server

This may not look like a good idea to some system or network administrators due to the security concerns. However, any patches installed to your SharePoint server may bring up issues that give you errors in the even log every couple minutes. The worst thing could happen other than your server explode or transform into a robot is, of course, stop working as you expected.



I have read people from the on-line communities talking about how an installed patch brought down the server or made certain features stop functioning as before.



If your environment does not have a centralize system or process to evaluate the updates sent by Microsoft, change the update service from install to download and notify you instead. You will have chances to review them and stop any potential problems before you are certain.
