Installing patches over a network

[Chris Strug]

Hi,

Apologies if this is the wrong group, please point me in the right direction
if it is...

Anyhow, I own a small network (comprising SBS 2000 and around twenty five
clients running win2k). I am sick and tired of having to manually install
patches and fixes to every machine one at a time.

Basically, is there a way of centrally installing patches to clients on a
network. I'm afraid my knowledge of win2k administration is somewhat basic
but if someone could point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

Any and all advice is gratefully received.

Kind thanks

Chris Strug.

Look up SUS in the microsoft knowledge base. It's a free
program to download from microsoft that will go get all
critical updates and service packs from microsoft and it
can then automatically update your networked machines.
