I think Windows Update Server is your answer. It's free, downloads all patches to a central location and the installation configuration and time is all configurable through GPO. It is very easy to get up and running. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sus/default.mspx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Juan B" <juanbabi () yahoo com> To: <pen-test () securityfocus com> Sent: Friday, August 20, 2004 2:15 PM Subject: worksations automatic updates
I have a solotion fot my It manager about updating the pc's in the company.He says that he doesnt have much time left to update them. We can do like this: There is a possibility to configure each workstation to download and install the updates in another time. We can schedule 5 pc's in the company (including my pc). To download the updates and install them on Sunday (for example).and schedule all the other pc's to download and install the patches after 4 days. If we see that the updates are doing something bad to the machines we have 4 days to stop the updates from being deployed to the rest of the company. I think we can do it throw GPO. What do u think about this solution ? thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.
