Install hotfixes

[Ivan Mckenzie]

Hi everyone, which would be the best way to install a hotfix on all my
Windows XP clients of my domain. I don't want to use SMS.


Thanks a lot,

Ivan Mckenzie

WSUS server.
(If it is a critical and publically released patch - plus it will help you
manage all future updates easily.)

Otherwise - the software installation features of AD work great.

Use WSUS

Hi, I'm using WSUS for pacthes, but it doesn't work with hotfixes that I
know of.

Thanks anyway,

Ivan

And pushing software installations with AD, the other suggestion I gave?

Scripts using PSEXEC?

What "hotfixes" are these? Are they like I said and "not released to the
public" fixes?
