I have 60 servers in a "restart pending" state. If I log into them, the ConfigMgr client notifies me that a restart is pending. I want to prevent any restarts until next month. I have only one maintenance window configured for these systems (3rd Sunday of the month from 4:00am-6:00am local time). These are my options:
- Do Nothing: Servers will restart within the current maintenance window.
- Change the 'Effective Date' to next month: Hopefully this is the correct and best option.
- Disable the Maintenance Window until next month: Oy...I'm a bit worried about this one
Obviously option 1 is no good. Option 2 looks good as long as there's no sort of transitional issue. I remember hearing once that if you do not have ANY maintenance windows defined, it's open season for restarts.
Endorsements of anything here, or any better suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
