The Virtual Machine Servicing Tool is straightforward to
use:
If you want, you can configure groups of virtual machines,
virtual machine templates, or virtual hard disks (VHDs). Grouping
them in this way helps to simplify the process of creating
servicing jobs.
You can also create and schedule servicing jobs for virtual
machines, virtual machine templates, or VHDs. A servicing job
specifies which virtual machines, virtual machine templates, or
.vhd files to update, what resources to use for the update process,
and when to start the servicing job. You can schedule jobs to run
immediately, or to run during low-traffic maintenance windows.
To keep your virtual machines compliant, consider setting up
servicing jobs to update them every two weeks.
Important To use the tool, use an account
that has administrative permissions on the Configuration Manager
server, the VMM server, the virtual machines, and the maintenance
hosts. In addition, this account must be a member of the Delegated
Administrator user role in VMM. This role must also have access to
the hyper-V hosts and the library servers intended to be used with
this tool. This user account should also have read and write
permission on the library shares where the Virtual hard disks to be
serviced reside.
