network updates

We have approximately 50 wkstns running xp. I wanted to be able to update
all the machines at once. Is there documentation somewhere that explains
how to setup the workstations and my domain controller is running server
2003?


thanks

If all the wkstns are online and capable of connecting to Internet then
clearly, they should be configured to download all updates automatically
and install them without user interaction.

However, if this is what you don't want to do then I suggest read here:

Hope this helps.

You may want to consider WSUS. All the documentation can be found here:
