I have 180 Win2K desktops, and am looking for an automated solution to quickly and efficiently deploy patches throughout the enterprise. I have used SMS before, but find it cumbersome and time consuming to use. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Tips? Tricks? Much obliged, Kip __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo! Mail - the world's greatest free email! http://mail.yahoo.com/
