However if you don't want to do that, why not just turn on the auto-update feature for all the workstations?
Because automatic updates are dangerous. I need to test the updates in our specific environment before I apply them network-wide. Microsoft updates have broken things before (811493 for example) and testing patches=saved asses. And in regards to an "all MS" shop -- yeah, only one would be needed. But it's a slippery slope. :) --J(K) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Captus Networks Are you prepared for the next Sobig & Blaster? - Instantly Stop DoS/DDoS Attacks, Worms & Port Scans - Precisely Define and Implement Network Security - Automatically Control P2P, IM and Spam Traffic FIND OUT NOW - FREE Vulnerability Assessment Toolkit http://www.captusnetworks.com/ads/42.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
