    Hail,

    No problems so far, user since the first version. Upgraded today, added the adm template.

    It would also be nice to have a server side log of machines updated.

    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....
