SCCM Orchestration Groups provide a solution for IT admins to manage server patching order, ensuring critical server clusters are patched in the correct sequence.

Creating Orchestration Groups

Create an Orchestration Group with servers in the desired patching order. The group allows you to maintain control over when patches are applied and in what order.

Configuring Pre and Post Patching Scripts

Configure pre-script to drain connections and post-script to validate service health, ensuring minimal disruption during the patching process.

Limiting Concurrent Patches

Set a maximum number of concurrent members in the Orchestration Group to avoid service disruptions due to excessive patching.

Monitoring Orchestration Group Run Status

Monitor run status during Patch Tuesday to ensure the patching process is progressing as planned. Resolve any issues promptly to minimize downtime.
