Security patch refusal by Senior Exec.

by mortonl . Updated 20 years, 3 months ago

Automatic patch managment systems requires staff to reboot their PCs when Microsoft sends out security updates. This can be very annoying to some staff. We have a senior executive who works with 20-30 files(email, excel docs,etc.etc) open at once and dreads having to close and remember the files that were open. Needless to say, the security patches must be deloyed. Is there a technical solution to capture and restore what’s running on the desktop prior to getting the reboot? Or is there any advice for getting this senior excutive to buy into need for security patches?
