Oh.. let's see.. patches Adobe and Flash and many of the other third
party stuff I have in my office. Not to mention [I think] easier
interface that WSUS as it only shows patches you need and lists them
with the year-patch number that I know not the KB number I don't.
Besides.. as a SBSer who patches everything including the kitchen sink
service, Shavlik was there for me three years ago when I needed a
patching program and WSUS was still SUS and on the drawing board and not
supported on SBS boxes.

We tested on wkstations and servers and decided it was not worth the
hefty price. My opinion is that it is too slow, tested on a duel CPU
P4 system. (Personally I think the GUI is ugly) We ran into firewall
issues as well. I have a dedicated W23K server for WSUS, no problem.
Microsoft workstations, Microsoft servers, why not make everything
Microsoft? Makes life easier in my environment. Now if I can only get
rid of those damn Macs.

Does anyone have recommendations for patch management software that
could be
installed on a desktop type system to manage a network with 120
nodes for
updates and patches. I was looking at WSUS, but the requirements
are that
you need a server OS, plus the minimum requirements were pretty stout.
Thanks in advance for recommendations!!
