Have a look to www.susserver.com

Software Updating Services

It's originated officially from Microsoft, the Page describes
how to install it.

With this Services you can update your W2K and WXP clients.

Mircosoft has in last year announced that they will publish SUS 2.0
in the 1. Quarter of this yeahr.

But haven't heard any news about it.

You can apply the updates as well with unatenden installation and active
directory, but for future tasks

I recommend the SUS Server, it is working here very fine since over a
half year.

Hi

You could consider implementing SUS (free) or something similar (links to some
3rd party products further down) for security patches.

Microsoft Software Update Services (SUS)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...s/default.mspx

Patch Management Using Microsoft Software Update Services - Operations Guide
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/its...st/pmsusog.asp

Note that the current version will only install critical updates and security
rollup packages (SRPs), as well as SP4 for Win2k and SP1 for WinXP.

A new version is in the works:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...TNGP09.phx.gbl

SUS needs to be installed on a IIS server. Supports Win2k, WinXP and Win2k3
clients only. SP1 for WinXP and SP3/4 for Win2k installs the WU/SUS client as
default.


There is a separate newsgroup for SUS:
microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...wareupdatesvcs

URL to the group softwareupdatesvcs for those who uses the Web
interface to access the newsgroups:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...wareupdatesvcs



A Web site about SUS with a FAQ and a SUS forum:

SUSserver.com
http://www.susserver.com/

More Web sites about SUS
http://www.cites.uiuc.edu/sus/faq.html
http://www.faqshop.com/sus/default.htm
http://computing.fusion13.com/SUS/Mi...ices-SUS.shtml


When evaluating hotfix administration methods/programs,
there are also 3rd party solutions available that will
give a lot more than what SUS offer, but of course, they
are not free. It is as always a cost/benefit analyze that
needs to be done.

Below is links to a 3rd party product example that does
not need a server to run and no IIS is needed (it supports
NT4 clients as well). You can deploy mostly all types of
hotfixes and service packs from an ordinary workstation
if you want.

Shavlik's HFNetChkPro/HFNetChkLT
If 10 computers or less htfnetchkLT is free (http://www.shavlik.com), it can
scan and push patches. It also finds patches needed for Office as well, and it
gives a really nice graphical analysis of the patch from truesecure.

Here is a f third party products that supports Win9x and WinME as well:

This won't perform service pack installs, though - hopefully 2.0 will?

You could try my vbscript solution here:

http://uphold2001.brinkster.net/vbshf/forum

It will perform hotfix and service pack installs remotely or through login
scripts.

Hi

Actually, the current version of SUS can deploy SP4 for Win2k
and SP1 for WinXP...

Really?

That makes my project a helluva lot easier.

Thanks Torgeir!
