I have had one too many bad experiences with Windows patches and automatic reboots. Win7 was fine, but the forced updates on Win10 make HS3 unreliable.
I've helped a lot of people set up HS3, and now I'm getting calls when their systems don't restart. Despite substantial effort, including setting policy so systems don't reboot, eventually the patches have to be applied and something almost always goes wrong so that HS3 doesn't start properly. One of those systems has been stuck for 2 hours at 43% applying the latest updates. As a result, some critical events were missed. Windows patches have become too unreliable and the volume is overwhelming. I have no idea how production operations deal with the patch problem.
I need HS3 running ALL the time, particularly in situations where it is monitoring security events. I would like some guidance on how well HS3 operates on Linux and, in particular, recommendations for specific Linux variants. What are the limitations of HS3 on Linux? How can I find out which plugins don't work under Linux?
Any/all recommendations most welcome!
