Well I was going to try that but he don't want me to do that either because it
takes way to much resources he says. So I'm in a lose lose situation huh?
Does anyone have their teachers to it themselves?

I'm not so concerned with all the security updates and such with the Macs that
I would be with the PC environment. another reason I like the Macs I think
it would be a nightmare to continually have to touch
Mitch,
What about Windows Automatic Updates?

Jackie, if you are not going to play nicely
It really has to be automated. There are options, but if it is all windows,
WSUS is the way to go IMO. I am using something else right now, but I hope to
change that this summer.

I agree. With WSUS you get to select what gets pushed when. That way you can
sometimes avoid conflicts before they arise by withholding updates that could
potentially cause issues with software.

Windows automatic updates is simple. Correct, you can't block certain
updates, but I don't think that is Mitch's issue. WSUS works great, but
you have to manage and over look
We also use WSUS and Group Policy. Once it is set up, approving or
declining updates isn't a big deal. Not compared to the time you would
spend if you physically had to go and touch every machine. I think that
just trusting that your end users to apply the updates wouldn't give
you the oversight
, and
deploy that out to clients using ARD. And I don't do even that very often.
