Correct. Sconfig was not available till R2. It's a lot easier that learning all
the commands but not nearly as much geek factor. I'm actually glad I learned to
do it directly first.
The windows update choices are pretty minimalistic...

Yes we are going with R2....will give these a try, once I get back on Monday.
Have just returned home from four hours in the pub so VPN'ing in and testing
stuff now would be a bad idea :-)

Are you using R2? If so:

I don't remember seeing this tool prior to R2.
If you're not then you can check out this script from MSDN:

Anyone know how a 2008 Core system handles Automatic Updates? I have my servers
set to download and notify, but I'm not confident this particular method will
work for a Core system I'm testing.....would it be a case of creating a new OU
with the "Auto install" option selected? I'd rather all servers were patched by
admins, but I'm not sure this system can handle it.
TIA,
