HFNetChk by itself can only scan, but there are programs built around that (like it's kernel or something) that expands on the capabilities of HFNetChk, like patching, updating the program itself, scanning multiple machines, deployment templates, etc. HFNetChk Pro4 is just such a program and it is from the same company that actually developed HFNetChk.

I am about to leave work, but testing will commence tomorrow - this is a current project of mine (one of about 50) to automate patch distribution. Thanks for the tips, will report on the outcome, Chris -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Spencer D'oro [mailto:sdoro () comcast net] Gesendet: Samstag, 13.

I like the Pro, it does scanning of domains,subnets, etc. and also does deploymeny patching. Both use hfnetchk, and they interface is GUI. LT is free with a 50 client license, pro will cost you.

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.....
HFNetChk sounds good. Someone just recommended it to me so I haven't tried it. It sounds solid, though, and should work with NT4. http://hfnetchk.shavlik.com/ MR

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.

at my company. 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.
