Hi
You could consider implementing MS SUS (free), and use some registry settings
on your clients to point to the SUS server.
Microsoft Software Update Services (SUS)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/windowsupdate/sus/default.asp
Patch Management Using Microsoft Software Update Services - Operations Guide
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/msm/swdist/pmsusog.asp
Note that the current version will only install critical updates and security
rollup packages (SRPs).
A new version is in the works:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=ungsInEZDHA.2336%40TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl
There is a separate newsgroup for SUS:
microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs
URL to the group softwareupdatesvcs for those who uses the Web
interface to access the newsgroups:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/community/newsgroups/dgbrowser/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs
A Web site about SUS with a FAQ and a SUS forum:
