Re: [Unattended] Windows auto update how to?
Ok, this is a bit of a premature announcement, but since it came up... My team is working on an open source alternative to SUS. That is, an open source client/server package that will automatically download Windows updates from Microsoft and allow clients to pull those updates from the server. I should note that this effort shares certain philosophical points with Unattended and I believe it will complement Unattended very well. However, it is not being created as a plugin or extension to Unattended. Specifically, we are looking for a controlled and open-source solution to distribute critical updates to our Win boxes without using IIS (which is required by SUS) or, in general, a Win server to host those updates. And so we need something that will work beyond install-time for Windows. It will be very possible to couple this or perhaps include it in Unattended (that's not a request, just a musing), but it is being created as a stand-alone project. There are already some other free (as in beer) alternatives to SUS available but I haven't found one yet that suits our needs. If anyone has any solutions or works-in-progress you think we should take into account, I welcome the feedback. Also, I don't intend for this project to derail or replace any ongoing efforts to potentially improve Windows update mechanisms with Unattended, I just thought it was relevant enough that I should mention it.

That is, an open source client/server package that will automatically download Windows updates from Microsoft and allow clients to pull those updates from the server. If these are the only requirements then it seems squid does a VERY good job of this already. If you need to FILTER the hotfixes / updates then squid may or may not work in your situation. I have never downloaded a ms update twice, its cached locally after the 1st workstation downloads it, even months later another workstation just pulls that same update from the squid cache.

We just hand-install critical (i.e. Blaster, Sasser) security fixs on new machines (or, once our unattended point is finished, todo.pl will do it :) ) and then leave them on overnight.
