The only way I know of is to do rolling updates- take certain servers =
out of
the farm, patch them, and then put them back in. One way to do this is
disable new logins on target servers for a period of time before the =
planned
outage to reduce the number of users that would need to be knocked off. =
If
you have enough servers, you could make the period of time very long so =
that
there would no one logged in when the time came to patch and reboot.

Does anyone here do it?

What are some methodologies that have worked for you? Currently we have =
a
3-4 hour window max to deploy patches to our infrastructure, which works
nicely. This, however, is going to change very soon due to some ASP
customers needing 24/7 operation.
