Je pravdou, že vychází hodně hotfixů pro různé systémy a pokud nemáte čas všechny testovat, většinou počkáte až na uvedení opravného balíčku Service Pack. To ale někdy nestačí, protože váš management systém může být nestabilní. Jak ale poznat co systém opravdu potřebuje? Podle chybových zpráv systému, případně jeho chování lze najít konkrétní řešení na stránkách http://support.microsoft.com/. POZOR - Aktualizováno dne 21.10.2009.   Existuje však seznam doporučených hotfixů (ne tedy všech existujících), které by měly být aplikovány v každém prostředí. Tento seznam není oficiálním stanoviskem společnosti Microsoft, ale vychází ze zkušeností mnoha IT profesionálů zabývajících se management systémy SCOM 2007.
