Its not really widely available to the best of my knowledge. As I said - its scheduled to go beta soon, and I'd expect a mid summer general availability release. I'd watch this forum, and the SUS websites:
 
And SUSServer.com has a story here about it - http://forums.susserver.com/index.php?showtopic=1871

I'm running SUS 1.1 quite successfully for about 700 client machines (and servers). SUS 2, which is due in beta within the next 30 days or so, is going to add Office and a few other products for patching, which really is all that SUS is missing.

 

I prefer the SUS methodology of an agent on the client that pulls down the updates as they are available - we have a lot of highly mobile users so that really makes things work well for us. Things like HKNetCheck require the box be online when you push the patches, which doesn't work well in a lot of environments.

I am in the process of looking at alternatives to distribute/manage Microsoft patches.  We have SUS running in a lab setup and it seems alright.  My question is are there superior products out there that someone has used and can recommend that work well with AD?  Running AD with an empty root and 2 child domains where the users reside, users are either Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

            Thank You,
