Hi Mike, Can't you install a WSUS server? Easy to setup in Windows 2008, I did it last Friday (previously I used Windows 2003). Then you set the group policy to force workstations to get updates locally. Let it update overnight though. My WSUS folder is 19Gb... Google WSUS for more info. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
