Remote Watch is great for visibility but from my understanding it still lacks
patching functionality. Unless something has recently changed remote watch
doesn't push patches to systems. It just makes them available (as in a
repository) for you to go out there and manually get them. In addition, it
doesn't actually show you missing patches or 3rd party patches (anyone have
adobe reader or 3rd party on their systems...). Therefore, it is not a
"Patching Solution" it is more of a patching repository.
Application Control/Whitelisting would probably be a better solution for EOL
systems such as Windows XP. With application whitelisting you can control the
binaries (applications) that are allowed to run on the system. It's not a
perfect solution and it takes time to "massage" the binaries but it can be very
effective if utilized correctly. I still know some systems using NT4 and
application whitelisting.

We are really struggling with how to properly administer Win security and virus

Thanks,
