Rollout of Windows updates for CH-Clients
Monthly Update-Schedule
Test-Phase 1: 2nd Wednesday of the month
Test-Phase 2: 3rd Wednesday of the month
Rollout for all CH-Clients: 4th Wednesday of the month
How we inform you about Updates
Actually we inform only the first test-group about the Windows-Updates.
In the future, we consider the idea to inform you over Connect.
How the windows (WSUS) updates are delivered and handled at the moment
Normally WSUS-updates are offered by Microsoft at the
2nd Tuesday of a month for us in Europe the patches are
available at the 2nd Wednesday of a month.
At this 2nd Wednesday the patches are
installed to a small group of WSUS test
clients
(at the moment 21 clients) to recognize
any problems.
At the 3rd Wednesday the testing group is extended to about 50 clients.
Provided there are no problems…
… the patches will be delivered and notified for installation to all in the Active Directory
“ch.sika.com” managed clients at the 4th Wednesday of the month
The updates are installed by clicking the “update-Icon “ at the taskbar and chose “update
now”; the finishing of the updates is offered after the installation or will be done by shutting
down the PC.
Otherwise the installation starts by shutting down the PC.

How can I shut down my pc without
installing the patches?
There are two ways to stop the computer without installing the updates:
1. Hibernate the PC (Ruhezustand)
2. On the plain desktop select “Alt” + “F4” and
get a shutdown-menu with the additional
option “Shut Down” (Herunterfahren).
This option shuts the PC down without
installing the patches.
