We have about 200 client workstations running Windows XP in a single
Windows 2000 Active Directory domain. It's for a school so our budget is a
bit tight.

We'd like to be able to push out all the security patches/service packs such
that
are offered by the Windows Update site automatically instead of going to
each
and every single client and running Windows Update from there, or installing
the patches
manually from a CD or disk, etc.

Can this be done with just a GPO ?
What is the fastest and cheapest way ?
What are some of the alternatives that I can look into ?

Thanks a million for any insight !!!!

chrism.
