The structure of our WAN is such that we have lots of small offices all over the country, each with a few to a hundred or so PCs, connected by not-so-fast links. The biggest locations have T1s, but many don’t. Keeping these things patched is a nightmare. We do not have distributed servers, and really nothing except the PCs themselves to cache something for local delivery. Which brings me to my question…is it even conceivable that something like an internal-only BitTorrent could be leveraged to distribute something as large as a service pack? I think it might be more efficient than a 3rd party patch management solution or WSUS, which I can’t use because of not having distributed file caches. If this is nutty, dish out the dirt, but I’ll want to understand why it’s nutty too J
Thanks
