Is there a method whereby one pc can be updated via the
internet and the rest automatically updates from network pc
Thanks

I think they want us to buy the CD. They even make their servers fail to
respond now. They are not coming out and admitting it, but I think
Microsoft stopped allowing upgrade downloads that work. At least that's how
it seems by reading the messages on this newsgroup. Microsoft is not
assigning anybody to help us with our questions. They don't respond to
anything. They don't even defend themselves. We can accusing them of
making it with their next door neighbor, but they still say nothing! They
are useless. If Autodesk ever returns to supporting the MAC, I think I'll
buy a MAC and get rid of Windows or buy a computer with LINUX or UNIX if
Autodesk ever supports those systems again.

Yes. You can install Microsoft's software update services (SUS) software on
a machine running IIS. Get on Microsoft's site and run a search for SUS.
It is actually pretty painless to install and I have had no problems with it
so far. Deploying the updates to the clients is a cinch if you are using
Active Directory.
