what time do you roll them out? I start ours at noon when everyone goes to lunch. I thought you couldn't use SUS on XP until SP1 was installed so why even bother.

Just be careful, if you approve the SPs they will be rolled out to all your SUS clients. I will need to change our client update timings since Win2k SP4 takes about 10 minutes to install, as opposed to the few seconds of background activity for a few patches. Users are not going to be happy about that in the middle of the day!

My understanding was that we would need the new version of SUS in order to roll out SPs - does anyone know for sure? I don't mind updates being applied automatically, but we need to be careful with Service Packs. Having said that, the fact it can do it is great.
