    Subject: Deploying Microsoft patches

    Hi,
    there are about 500 pcs in the company that i work
    for,
    all of them are on Win 2K Professional

    With this amount of PCs, it is very difficult to keep
    all of these PCs patched with the latest security
    patches

    We have tried to automate the process by launching the
    installation by using AD 'Startup Script'. However the
    patch is installed every time the PC is booted

    Currently we are deploying patches manually, and this
    is very time consuming, and we are not able to keep
    uptodate with the latest patches being released by
    Microsoft

    Anyone who has an automated process for deploying
    patches without the use of Commercial tools for remote
    installations?

    Thanks!
