Schedule the security patches for a maintenance window.

I'm sure that with proper management etc. a Windows database server can =
be reliable. But one thing that puzzles me - when you install a =
Microsoft security patch, the dialog box at the end (almost) always says =
"Reboot the machine now." I religiously do that since all of my Windows =
databases can be brought down (they're used for development.) What do =
people do with a production database server?
