General considerations
Review the following considerations when you work with IBM Cloud® for VMware Solutions.
Automatic installation of updates from Windows Update
The Microsoft® Active Directory™ (AD) Domain Services server is automatically set up to download the updates only. It does not install these updates or restart automatically. You must install the updates manually and restart at a scheduled time that avoids any interruptions of the ongoing AD server configuration and other backup jobs. To apply Windows® updates, install the updates manually.
If you want to upgrade your Active Directory server OS version, open an IBM® Support ticket by following the steps in Getting help and support. Before you proceed with a new OS installation, you must back up all domain controllers and VMware Cloud Foundation for Classic - Automated instances.
