updation in workgroup

i have 25 win2k machines in a workgroup. is it possible for me to deploy all
the win2k patches or updates to all machines after downloading them to one PC
without using any 3rd party s/w and without instaling each one manually.

Hi,

No.

As long as you have a Win2k or Win2k3 server with IIS installed, you
can use the free WSUS product from Microsoft for this.

Windows Server Update Services
http://www.microsoft.com/wsus

a good site about WSUS
http://www.wsuswiki.com/


FYI:

WSUS have it's own newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services


WebNews link to the WSUS newsgroup:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...pdate_services


Or use a newsgroup reader (default Outlook Express) to access this new
group:

Clicking on this link should open this group in OE:
