Install Windows Update on Multiple Computers

Is there a way to d/l an installation file that we can use to install
Microsoft Update instead of having to installing it on each machine from the
web site?

I would like to use this installation file to push out the installation of
Microsoft update to many computers.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. However, We do not need the full functionality of
WSUS. I simply want to diploy Microsoft Update to all computers. We already
have Windows Updates configured via group policy to automatically d/l and
install updates nightly.

Is there a seting in GP to allow WU to auto install MU? Is their a
installation program for MU I can deploy with a script?

Thanks!

Ok... after further review... maybe WSUS is the ticket

WSUS...
That is your best option, really.

Otherwise you will always be scripting and sending out packages on the
second tuesday of the month instead of just checking a few boxes.
