One thing you could do to eliminate some of the Windows update traffic is to set up a WSUS server. Essentially it is a server that downloads the updates and then you can push them from there. It allows you set profiles and test the updates before deploying them into the wild. I have used it before and it seems to work relatively well...for an MS technology. Best way to describe it is a cross between Update SErvices & System Management Server. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
