I had Sunbelt's SNSI and it went away and so I inherited Languard from them. I am trying to get up to speed on this and all it can do with or without WSUS. I do get updated emails all the time from GFI with listings of 3rd party patches it can now do. I'd like to know more about this product.
I will be accelerating my testing. From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 10:16 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: GFI LanGuard I'd like to know how they deliver third-party patches, or whether that is left up to the administrator. That used to be the major advantage some third-party applications provided (such as Shavlik). Their people kept up with the patches coming out from other vendors and would either package them for you, or give you an automated way to package them and then push them out. Regards, Michael B.

Looked a decent product and something I'm considering quite strongly. From: Bob Hartung [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 January 2011 16:14 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: GFI LanGuard In researching WSUS, I noticed that GFI has a security product, LanGuard, that has an component that supports Windows updates as well as 3rd party updates. I'm a little unclear on the Windows updates part of LanGuard's capability. On one hand, it says it does deploy windows updates but on the other hand it says it's supposed to be used in conjunction with WSUS. I though Microsoft had taken legal action against software that deployed Microsoft patches to stop them.. Anyone using LanGuard care to share what they know about this?
