My client would sack (fire) me on the spot if I patched
servers without having clearly shown due diligence
beforehand.
If a DC hosting say the RID master role died during a patch
which resulted in issues (where admins were unable to create user objects), the
business would ask 'why were proper measures not put in place to cater for such
an issue?' and also further state 'We lost millions of £/$ due to this
outage!' I would try to respond and explain and then be duly sacked
(fired).
Why would you NOT perform due
diligence?

occassions I disagree with Jorge. I see no usefulness in this ping pong
exercise. DC dies in the process of patching and it is the one holding a
specific FSMO role. So what? Just seize the role and wipe the server and do your
cleanup and reinstall.
Due dilligence is to test your patches and
ensure that they don't take your servers/infrastructure down before you proceed
with deploying them on your live environment.

cornfused is this a standard practice as I thought you did not want to move the
FMSO roles back and forth.
