    sus, works good for me deployment. The only problem I have is, if a user is
    dialed up and the updates are scheduled to download, they will download...
    it would be nice to have some way to disable the auto-updates if the user is
    only a dialup connection versus connected through local ethernet connection.
    It would be nice to have reporting features as it still leaves admins in the
    dark on what updates have been applied without extensive scripts to digout
    the information. Otherwise, this is a good start for microsoft, thats
    free....
