not sure, but I do know this - I have 8 locations in 5 states, all low bandwidth connections back to me (512k - 768k). WSUS updates NEVER slow down/clog up the circuits. Now, on the other hand... we do use this anitivirus application called Vipre which is not so nice with bandwidth restrictions

Your comment about Vipre is interesting. I pick a local workstation at each site, give it a static IP, and make that the distribution point. It can be a user's PC as long as it stays powered on. That will cut down your A/V defs/agent updates. David Mazzaccaro david.mazzacc...@hudsonhhc.com
