I don't know LanGuard, but several vendors have built on top of the WSUS platform in order to support third party patching. Microsoft does it itself with the System Center Configuration Manager product.
Putting together a patch for inclusion by WSUS isn't tough to do when you have the support software to do it. :) Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Bob Hartung [mailto:bhart...@wiscoind.com] Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 11:14 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: GFI LanGuard In researching WSUS, I noticed that GFI has a security product, LanGuard, that has an component that supports Windows updates as well as 3rd party updates. I'm a little unclear on the Windows updates part of LanGuard's capability. On one hand, it says it does deploy windows updates but on the other hand it says it's supposed to be used in conjunction with WSUS. I though Microsoft had taken legal action against software that deployed Microsoft patches to stop them.. Anyone using LanGuard care to share what they know about this?
