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.   Roger -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
