Windows version upgrades are processed through a similar development, test and production scenario and comply with the change management policy. However, updates occur in groups of servers over a period of weeks only performed during the weekend downtime window. ABC maintains one version for all Windows servers which allows streamlining of upgrades and ensures consistency throughout the enterprise.
