[THIN] Re: Slightly off topic

Thanks for the info, and thanks to Greg as well, yeah wise is way out of
our budget.

I will look into WSUS because it is mainly for patches that I want to
do. Someone also

Suggested adding a line in the login script to use xcopy to move the exe
to the startup

Folder on the users workstation, but I am not sure how well that would
work.

 

Thank You

We use Wininstall LE (we can't afford wise) to get our apps into
packages. It worked for almost all of our apps. I know I've read to NOT
package the MS patches, at least with that product.

 

For MS patching, you might want to look at WSUS instead of pushing them
through AD and it's free.

 

Good luck

Hello,

 

I am running a setup with 2 MS Terminal Servers and a few application
servers and about 20 thin clients and about 30 fat clients.

I was wanting to get system updates in MSI format so I could use AD to
push them, so these would be standard windows and

Other updates, I currently get Mozilla Firefox in MSI but would like to
get all that way so I could do updates without having to

Interrupt the users. Anyone have any info?

 

Thank You
