We already have a process around patching automation for the (approximately) 900 existing servers we manage. Most of the heavy lifting on these is done using <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/deploy/deploy-windows-server-update-services">WSUS</a> with the help of the <a href="https://www.ajtek.ca/">AJ Tek WAM tool</a>. Unfortunately, in this edge case, we won’t be able to use our existing methods. These new server are separated from the bulk of our network for compliance reasons and are also not joined to a domain. So there is no pre-existing centralized group policy.</p>
