Hi Dan, You don't have to update the client. I worked with it for several hours without updating the client, so they won't lose connectivity.

This includes all the laptops that don't get brought in from home but once every six months. In the meantime, the computers that get logged into 50 times a day will have the client updated that many times per day unless I get really elaborate with the login script. Then, when I "think" all the computers finally got updated, I take that out of the login script and wait for the calls about not being able to reach the Internet. So, to me the Group Policy is a much simpler approach in that it will install once, and only once, and will catch every computer that boots up on the network. ________________________________ From: Thomas W Shinder [mailto:tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 22:16 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition SP1 http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Dan, I haven't tested the group policy software deployment option yet, but the update.bat is quite painless and you can put that log on script in group policy.
