Why each option
VMM update baselines allow administrators to define and enforce Windows Update compliance directly on managed Hyper-V hosts from within the VMM console.
VMM update baselines integrate with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to scan, remediate, and enforce patch compliance on Hyper-V hosts managed by System Center 2012 VMM. This provides a targeted, host-aware update mechanism without requiring a separate Configuration Manager infrastructure. It is the most direct and purpose-built solution for keeping Hyper-V hosts patched within the VMM management scope.
Service Manager workflows are designed for ITSM process automation such as incident or change management, not for deploying Windows updates to Hyper-V hosts.
Configuration Manager auto deployment rules can manage updates but require a full ConfigMgr infrastructure and client deployment on each host, making it less efficient than VMM baselines for Hyper-V-specific patching.
Orchestrator runbooks automate multi-step processes across System Center components but are not a native patch management solution and would require significant custom development.
