All Windows servers Cluster1 and Cluster2 reboots possible nightly for urgent updates

[Stephen]

There are a couple very urgent updates needing installed on servers as released by Microsoft today, they will be installed at the earliest time and rebooted.


This weekend the SSL will be disabled on all and rebooted as well, leaving only TLS for secure communications. This is following in steps of most other companies that have disabled SSL1-3 and leaving only TLS for secure channel, as the SSL protocols have an implementation failure that MAY allow various exploits.
