**To update a server**

The following ``update-server`` command updates the maintenance start time of the specified Chef Automate server in your default region. The ``--preferred-maintenance-window`` parameter is added to change the start day and time of server maintenance to Mondays at 9:15 a.m. UTC.::

    aws opsworks-cm update-server \
        --server-name "automate-06" \
        --preferred-maintenance-window "Mon:09:15"

The output shows you information similar to the following about the updated server. ::
