My servers download the updates, but *never* auto-install. I have 3 of
the same server, so I test on our least critical first. I manually
install pretty much everything on our servers.
Typically I wait for Shavlik to add it to their NetChk Pro scan setup as
they do preliminary testing, and then I check out to see what problems
early adopters have experienced. Our servers are pretty vanilla, so
I've been lucky so far to not have any problems.
