For your first question have you tried this (Microsoft Network Security Hotfix Checker (Hfnetchk.exe): http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q303/2/15.asp
Or, have you tried this (Post-Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a Security Rollup Package): http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q299/4/44.asp?ID=299444 For the second question, I'd have to agree with nmap being a good network/port scanner. However, you said, "virus/trojan scanner than can scan entire networks?" [sic] which to me asks for a good virus scanner. For that I recommend using Cheyenne's tool InnoculateIT. It is a stable product even though their signiture updates can be slow.

I've been evaluating a copy at work and it helps a LOT. It does exactly what you're asking for... they used to have a version called SPQuery that only did Windows patches, but the new version does WinNT/2K, IIS, Exchange, SQL, Proxy (I think), MS Office/Outlook, IE... I think that's it. Go to SPQuery.com and check it out. It updates a database that the company sells as a subscription (per machine)... they build the database with the logic of which patches supersede others, the correct order to install them, different dependencies, which patches can be applied without a reboot (like QChain), etc. I haven't found another product as comprehensive as this one on the market. If someone else knows of a good competitor, please let me know as we haven't purchased it yet. (SMS doesn't count -- I hate it!) For 500 managed machines they quoted us around $8,500. In any enterprise of size, I think a tool like this is invaluable. Sure, you can script out things to install them for you and save a lot of money, but in the end it saves money because you don't have to pay someone to research the patches, write scripts and/or manually install the patches. Comments anyone? -----Original Message----- From: Pimp Oftheyear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 7:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Hotfix Deployer OK, here is what i'm looking for. I need something that can deploy a Win2K hotfix across an entire network, or even better specific machines that i designate. Also, is there a virus/trojan scanner than can scan entire networks? Hook me up here. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
