Sorry one other thing.. when I want to have instant gratification and
control... I patch ..right then and force a reboot of all
workstations/servers, etc. There's no waiting for them to check in, or
scripting a faster checkin [horrors] to get a faster patch deployment.
Also it had SBS specific patches way before WSUS did.
I'm a gui gal....what do you expect?
When I want things patched and patched right now...and not within the
next # number of hours... a push solution is way better than a pull in
my opinion.

We tested on wkstations and servers and decided it was not worth the
hefty price. My opinion is that it is too slow, tested on a duel CPU
P4 system. (Personally I think the GUI is ugly) We ran into firewall
issues as well. I have a dedicated W23K server for WSUS, no problem.
Microsoft workstations, Microsoft servers, why not make everything
Microsoft? Makes life easier in my environment. Now if I can only get
rid of those damn Macs.

Does anyone have recommendations for patch management software that
could be
installed on a desktop type system to manage a network with 120
nodes for
updates and patches. I was looking at WSUS, but the requirements
are that
you need a server OS, plus the minimum requirements were pretty stout.
Thanks in advance for recommendations!!
