RE: AW: SUS Help

["Spencer D'oro" <sdoro () comcast net>]

You can try HFNetCheckLT from Shavlik Technologies, or HFNetCheck Pro 4.
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.

HFNetChk sounds good. Someone just recommended it to me so I haven't 
tried it. It sounds solid, though, and should work with NT4.
