Great information.

During patching, both servers are in the same group to be rebooted.  We never thought about separating the servers that are involved in an AG and then insuring the...

Thanks, but I was afraid of that.

We have over 30 servers that have critical alerts implemented.  That would be disabling six alerts per server.

That is a lot to do each...

We have SentryOne.  I have created a maintenance window within SentryOne.

The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX statement terminated because a duplicate key was found for the object name 'dbo.TableID' and the index name 'ClusteredIndex-20180604-101725'.

I guess I could write a query to...

Lynn, sorry to let you down.  I did look at the url, but I definitely missed the colons.

Scott, Thank you, thank you and again thank you.
