Sure hope you are somehow patching Adobe and Java! Firefox...
It's easy. Eg:
psexec @List.txt -u USERNAME -s -i -d msiexec /p "\\PATH\Adobe
Reader\Reader 9.1 Rollouts Enterprise
Install\AdbeRdrUpd913_all_incr.msp" /qn /norestart
Verify:
psexec @List.txt reg query
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{
AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A91000000001} /v DisplayVersion

We don't use anything other than wsus here, yet.
If it's not in WSUS, it ain't patched, well not easily anyway.
Login scripts and batch files run remotely, but not very often.
There's talk about patchmanagement coming real soon now.
Heard Altiris mentioned on the grapevine as we're a dell shop and there
is the dell client management stuff being rolled out at the minute.
Haven't seen it yet tho.

Dunno... but that data has to traverse your network to clients anyway?
Are you concerned about not being able to BITS the package to client
machines?

You can strip that crap out with the IEAK, and then distribute as a
package.
Admittedly that does eliminate WSUS as a distribution mechanism...

Not to completely hijack this thread... but it sounds like John is all
set anyway...
So... how are people handling the rollout of IE8? If done through WSUS
(which it is now showing up as a rollout), what do you do about the
annoying options that users will see when they first open IE?

Subject: IE8 doesn't work!
I just installed the new IE 8 for Windows XP from Windows Update and now
IE doesn't work at all. I can't connect to Yahoo or anything! I've tried
CNN, I've tried Yahoo, I've tried Adobe. Nothing. All I ever get is
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." Anyone got any idea
what's going on? Firefox still works, so I don't think it's my computer,
per se.
This is just crazy!
