Hi! We don't do patch management, but I have heard from an McAfee guy, that their EPO Server has the ability to distribute and check patches. I don't have any experience with this, so I can't comment on that... For some programs (like Acrobat Reader), that don not need a lot of customization it might be an option to use the Microsofts Active Directory and it's group policies. I believe its possible to use GPOs to install MSI packages. This is probably not the right way for anything that needs custom settings, but for some programs it might be something worth trying!
