in Off-Topic
Hello,

I want to deploy Windows updates, office service packs etc automatically through our servers and wanted to know how you guys accomplish this.

I wanted to know what you guys find is the best way to do it and most efficient. Company is small (60-70) users.

Thanks!

    Is there a link for WSUS 2.0? We currently do not have a Windows Server 2003 license or machine so we will be running on XP.

    Will the 10 concurrent connections limit on XP apply here? You may need another solution.

    Yeah I am exploring different solutions now - one of them is WPKG which can run off a Samba server which we have.

    If you have a 2000 server wsus 2 will work on that
    IT guy since 12/00

    Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)

    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...
