    Pedro: It's possible to execute a task, like applying a windows patch inmediatly.
    Pedro: We are trying to patch as many computers possible without actually visiting

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/windowsupdate/sus/default.asp

    See the thread from this mailing list called "Deploying Microsoft Patches"
    from July 11th 2003 for further information.
