Thanks

We always do FM updates during office hours.

Can only be problematic if you are using FortiManager as a Fortiguard Distribution Point.

If this functionality is enabled, you would take the web filtering and email filterating database down.

But even then it depends how the fortigates are configured:

- Is it allowed to use public fortiguard service when private servers are unavailable (Fortiguard Setting)

- Web access is still allowed on webfilter rating errors. (web filter setting)
