I love this list because the answers always open up new opportunities to learn
:)
How can I determine what version my clients have in the enterprise (i.e what
filename and version to look for)
I have landesk, so maybe I can use that to push out the client, once I know
where to go get it, and what version my clients already have.
Currently, I have Automatic updates set via GPO to download and install
everyday at 3am, so as long as I can get the latest update client pushed, I
should be ok
Thanks

Microsoft update is based on the actual version of the Auto update client on
the workstation.
Unless you are running the WSUS server and configure the server to auto update
the client to the latest version- you will need to manually update the client
or create and deploy a package to update the client.
After the client workstation has the latest AU client- it will download and
install MS updates as well as Windows updates- based on the configuration of
the autoupdate/windows update settings on the machine- whether it is set
manually or applied through GPOs.

I checked some of the archives and I can't see where we have discussed this
before on this list, but I would imagine it had to come up.
Is there a way to enable Microsoft updates with Group Policy. I know you can
set policies for Automatic updates, but this is different that Microsoft
Updates.
Any ideas?
