ConfigMgr 2007 allows patching over the Internet. Microsoft is also building a Live service for the System Center group of apps so that users rarely have to connect to the corporate network but can still be completely managed by you.

Our sales / regional managers may be in the field for two months before they come back to home office. I have a WSUS server and would like to start collecting stats on them and control what and when the get patched. The only way I can think of doing this is open up my WSUS server to the Internet. I'm not sure I like the idea of that though. None of these users have VPN's back to corporate, and that's likely not to change. What do you guys do?
