XP critical updates

[Urmilla]

My company recently deployed XP on about 200 client
machines. Our servers are still running NT and is not
scheduled to be updated to windows 2003 until January
2004.

My current problem stems from the fact that these clients
machines do not have Internet access via our LAN and this
means cannot use the Automatic download feature for
managing XP updates.
I noticed that there is about 28 critical updates for SP
available on Microsoft site !

What is the best suggested way to deploy these updates in
my current environment.

I can download these updates and e-mail the files to
users, but is there a special order that the updates
should be ran if done like this ?

Anyone with any efficient suggestions to deal with this,
please help.

Thank you

Urmilla

Select your OS and SP level, after downloading all the appropriate patches
into a folder create a batch file that runs each patch making sure to add a
"/Q /Z" to the end of each patch executed. This will keep you from
rebooting between patches. Just reboot when finished.
