1. Create an Organization Unit (OU) in Active Directory, and put all your Production Servers in the OU
   
   Add all your Production Servers to the Production Server OU
2. Create a new Group Policy object and link it to the Production Server OU
   
   Create a new Group Policy for your Production Servers
3. Edit the new Group Policy object and drill down to Computer Configuration | Policies | Windows Components | Windows Update
4. Edit the Configure Automatic Update Properties item and enable it
5. Set the Configure Automatic Updating option to 3 – Auto download and notify for install
   
   Edit Configure Automatic Updates Properties and enable 'Auto download and notify for install

Now the next time you plan to reboot your server you can install updates quickly and reboot – keeping your servers updated without unplanned reboots.

The following screenshot is the settings applied to the default domain policy for the same group policy settings but this will apply to all machines joined to the SSW domain. 

 

Then after you decide there is justification:

•           Do a typical action – take a new image or baseline.

•           give the ​​additional resources e.g. Ram and processors….

•           Do the typical action again – take another image of the “Resource Monitor”

•           If there is some improvement, reply “done” (otherwise reply “not done”)

Note: An ideal email subject prefix for more resources would be e.g. “Performance issue – “Machine name”

Figure: Use “Resource Monitor” prior to allocating more RAM on a VM

         
            Figure: If you see something like this, pass their request :-)
