Would you like to describe your standard practice? I am interested in implementing this after windows updates have killed our workstations multiple times.
Is there a nice description / workflow / tutorial / script / community where I can learn how to do that?
I did not find any recommended workflow for this by Microsoft itself, but maybe I was searching for the wrong things - windows updates are generally a bad thing to research anything related for. I expected to find some standard workflow description plus tools on some MS website, but no success. Does that exist?
You are looking for WSUS (Windows Server Update Services). If you have Windows Server somewhere, you can add WSUS role to it and use group policies to point your clients to it for updates.
Then, in WSUS console, you set up approvals for updates and then the updates will be offered to clients only once you approve them. You can divide the clients into groups and manage the approvals for these groups individually, so you can have a separate testing group.

Thank you very much!
