Windows Software Update Services.

It is possible to schedule the install to happen at off hours, and force a
reboot regardless of the user's desires.

Or you can do it a little looser if you want...

Subject: Updating multiple systems


As the IT Mangler for a start-up, many of my (l)users complaint that the
update process takes too long, causes too many reboots, etc.  There fore
they are not doing these updates, as mandated.

Is there a way to 'push' the updates from a centralized server to the
machines?

I am running a mix of Win2k Pro and XP Pro, suggestions and comments would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints & how to
