Quels sont best-practices for exécuterning Windows Mise à jour on a Hyper-V server avec exécuterning VM's?

I have four VM's running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box - not 'core.' What is the best way to install Windows Updates on that server? Do I need to shut the VM's down first in case it wants a reboot? Is there a way to configure Windows Updates to do the shutdown itself?

WIndows saves the VM's then restarts. If saving takes too long some vm's just fail and restart from cold boot.

Server 8 can - in a cluster - empty the machine by moving the VM's over first, but that is not in standard 2008 R2, sadly.

We do save / shutdown before upating the virtual servers. But we only have three.
