I love this list because the answers always open up new opportunities to learn :) How can I determine what version my clients have in the enterprise (i.e what filename and version to look for) I have landesk, so maybe I can use that to push out the client, once I know where to go get it, and what version my clients already have. Currently, I have Automatic updates set via GPO to download and install everyday at 3am, so as long as I can get the latest update client pushed, I should be ok Thanks Booker T.

Unless you are running the WSUS server and configure the server to auto update the client to the latest version- you will need to manually update the client or create and deploy a package to update the client. After the client workstation has the latest AU client- it will download and install MS updates as well as Windows updates- based on the configuration of the autoupdate/windows update settings on the machine- whether it is set manually or applied through GPOs.

Is there a way to enable Microsoft updates with Group Policy. I know you can set policies for Automatic updates, but this is different that Microsoft Updates. Any ideas? Booker
