A very important task after installing a CCE (Cloud Connector Edition)

You must set a proper Update Time for your CCE Windows Updates und CCE Patching.

WARNING 1:
If you don't do this, at any point of time the CCE might start installation updates and will set you offline for the installation for up to 3hrs+.

WARNING 2:
You have to configure the UPDATE Window before you deploy the CCE!

NOTE:
The time zone is not configurable, but is tight to the Hyper-V host (the CCE location) defined in the windows host. Make sure the time zone setting are correct on the CCE!
