Patch Management at Microsoft

People often want to know how we manage patch deployments here at Microsoft. What tools do we use, how do we verify patch installation, etc. To get the inside scoop, listen to the TechNet Radio broadcast by Paul Thomsen and Brian Keogh which you can download here.

Some interesting facts about the Microsoft environment:

8,000 Servers

150,000 Desktops

Over 50,000 employees

160 sites world wide

450 buildings

You might also be interested in knowing that our IT department does not get an advanced heads up on patches we are about to release. They get the same notifications that our customers do on patch Tuesday's and must respond accordingly.
