Admins... Microsoft Auto-update.....
At the top of the page leading to here is a very interesting piece of information which should mean that there is very little excuse for admins to not automatically patch public servers in the near future. I for one see this as a huge benefit......

And, we will provide rollback capability for all patches, so you can roll them out and roll them back if there is an application incompatibility or something unanticipated
How many of you will reconsider auto-update when this rollback ability proves functional?
What would you say if M$ began shipping products with auto-update turned on?
autoupdate alternate for large corporations!
I'm surprised that I have not seen this alternative. It is possible to setup your own windows update server. When you do this you have the flexibility to select which patches you want to install, and you can also have SMS push the updates to the computers during non peak hours when the users will not be interrupted by it.
From what I've heard the server setup is relatively easy to install and this will fix ALOT of vulnerabilities to a massive amount of computers and quickly. I don't really know of many other ways you can say you've patched 1800 computers in a day!
Just a suggestion!
Have a great day!
