Danny,
Thank you for your reply. I heard SUS, haven't done any test on it.
I'm not quite comfortable with SUS yet, first step actually I like to find a
way for me to check the update automatically, then I would pick some updates
and figure a way to deploy them on the network. Because some updates would
crash the PC, like to have some control on it.
Please advise,
sarah
