OS Images - Schedule Updates - What's the impact?

Hi all,

In SCCM 2012 when you use the 'Schedule Updates' function under 'Operating System Images' in the Software Library, when an update is actually happening (in my case I want to add Windows updates), what is the impact to the SCCM environment?

What I mean is what will it do/what services will it impact, bring offline etc? To me it makes sense that the WIM file being updated is unavailable which is fine, but does it stop anything else?

A website I found said something about action being taken on the site so it recommends doing it out of hours. That's lead me to ask this question cos it worried me a tad. As I'm only adding the IE11 update to the WIM it shouldn't take long but I don't want to impact other areas of our I.T. that use SCCM.

Hopefully this question has made sense. Basically I just want to perform an OS Image update and trying to determine the impact of doing it during office hours.

As a sub question - what do others do to protect the WIM file in case something goes wrong. Do your rely on the auto backup? Take a copy of the WIM yourself first? I've done the latter.

Thanks.
