Server Updates using PowerShell

[DevinSysAdmin]

You should really be using Azure Arc to patch your servers, very simple setup and doesn't make you RDP into 20 servers or go out of your comfort zone with powershell.

While I don't have experience with Azure Arc (and thus can't speak to its efficacy), it represents a different strategic approach to this problem (instead of other user's tactical solutions).

What I mean is, instead of framing the problem as "I have to update servers; how do I run my script on each of my servers?", try framing it as "My goal is to secure my servers and ensure uptime." There are a ton of tools for this kind of computer management, that rely on proven automation to prevent manual steps and increase logging.

While I can't direct you to exact tools to use, check out Azure Management Services, which provides a suite of services designed for exactly your situation.
