Re: Enterprise Microsoft / application patching solutions?

Patrick,
  A place I used to work at had about 30k workstations and 2k servers 
used BigFix.  It worked really well for pushing out MS patches and 
updates.  Plus, there were different modules you could add into it to 
patch other applications as well.  It also had a reporting function that 
would let you search on machines missing say a patch X.  It really 
helped streamline the patch management process there.
