SUS - I use it on 2 diferent client sites, only drawback is the manual approval of new patches.. (some say drawback, some say blessing), one download for all, and in the "third world" country of New Zealand as so pleasantly put it, the lower the GB used, the better!!

You can use Microsoft Software Update Services. I've never used it myself, but I know of a few clients that have. Some of them like it, others have had some issues, I guess. You can get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3D3DA7AA96E4-6E4= 1 -=3D 4 F54-972C-AE66A4E4BF6C&displaylang=3D3Den -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jeff Durbin Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 4:08 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Script To Install All Post SP Hotfixes? Speaking of installing all the hotfixes.....every time I build an XP Pro machine (or any other for that matter), I have to install the latest service pack and then download all the critical updates, which can often take a long time, as I live in a technological third world called New Zealand. Even if the customer does have the speed, they pay by the megabyte, so if you've got a bunch of machines, it's more economical if you can download the files once and install to all the new machines. How does everyone apply critical updates after installing an OS? I've looked at SUS, but I didn't see a way to install on demand. My next thought was downloading all the patches individually and using a script/qchain. Anyone doing this? Thanks.
