this is a really easy thing to write on your own.  you could even do this
with perl.

We have two networks, one AD and one NT4.0. We can not use AD to deploy MSI
patch packages to workstations that are not part of the AD (Active
Directory), but are part of the NT domain. Not really interested in
purchasing SMS as it seems too costly (why should we?). Considering
HFNetChkPro 4 to automate the deployment of patches to our workstations and
servers, as doing it manually is far too costly and time consuming for the
company. Are there any other utilities or software that anyone (possibly
free?) recommends that could be used to simplify patch deployment and
management to every workstation and server. We use Windows NT, 2000 and XP
workstation products, and NT4.0/2000/2000 Adv server products.

Thank You,
