Are you saying you don't run Microsoft's recommended security updates on your server software?
I'm saying if you have a critical system that is not reachable from the internet, then you'd better have a damn good reason for installing any updates. And if you do install anything, you do them one at a time, you know exactly what each update does, and you verify that there are no side effects afterward. You might even do a full backup after each one, too.
You should probably never just click "install updates" if a machine is as critical as this one seems to be.

Well that's why I'm asking. I was trying to get a handle on what you IT guys do in actual practice.
ETA: Still, you guys seem to be talking in general for all systems. My question is why would an older system be more susceptible to problems. I simply don't see it. It will either run the OS or it won't. Updates shouldn't do anything to change system requirements.
