132 132  An important part of Windows Update Management is the automated distribution of selected updates. To do this, you need to define the test and release process that will be used for distribution. Here, you can assign the appropriate classifications to each product that is to be included, based on your own process. You can then define the transitions to the various test rings and the retention period that an update should adhere to. The latter option allows you to determine how quickly published updates and upgrades can be used and installed in your company.
