Try HFNetCheck Pro from Shavlik www.shavlik.com I compared it to Update
Expert from St. Bernard and liked it MUCH better. They have a free
unlimited use demo (no expiration) that will deploy 3 OS patches at a time.
I did SP3 and a couple critical updates simultaneously to 3 machines
without a hitch. It even has reporting capabilities (which I am using to
produce the management proposal needed to buy it).

Hope this helps
