that said, has any one tried Shavlik's hfnetchck pro or the st bernard software? Both of which appear to push to NT as well as push Service packs for OS and for office....... (still using SUS - But looking for something else). steve From: Meidinger Chris <chris.meidinger () badenit de> To: "'rogerg () cox net'" <rogerg () cox net>, "Gooch, Linnie" <Linnie () wescom org>, security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: AW: SUS Help Date sent: Thu, 11 Sep 2003 18:01:26 +0100
Hi guys, i'm dealing with exactly the same problem, and i can promise you there is *no* affordable option to automagically patch NT boxes without scripting it yourself. Which is what i will spend the next week doing..... Cheers, Chris -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Roger A. Grimes [mailto:rogerg () cox net] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 11.

SUS must be installed on a W2K or Server 2003 server, and the client must run the Automatic Updates service (which doesn't run on NT). There are few options available when patching an NT environment. Even Win98 has more patch mgmt options. Roger *************************************************************************** *Roger A.

I want to know if anyone has deployed it with an NT4 environment? We aren't moving to AD for another 3 months, but with the blaster worm and other such vulnerabilities, I want to get it up and running right away. Here is what I'm looking for. I'm reading the documentation for SUS, and it talks about setting the registry on client machines, which is no problem, but the documentation is so unclear about what exactly I need to add to the registry. I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what registry keys needed to be added or changed so I could test it right away. Thanks guys. This list rocks!
