You're doing 70+ servers from the Windows update site? D'oh! Download and script the install. If you don't have something like Altiris, make something using psexec from the sysinternals.com site.

Now I must coordinate downtime of 70+ servers in a 24x7x365 environment. This makes me less than pleased. Anyone have a way around this? Chad
