Microsoft released a PDF paper along with a set of tools and templates to help administrators and users develop smoother and more effective means of managing patches- something you have to do quite frequently.

You can download a ZIP file containing the PDF and the tools and templates from Microsoft at the link below:

Microsoft Patch Management

[EDIT] couldn't get the file(s) to upload- too big I guess? I changed it to a link where I have uploaded the ZIP file. It is about 2Mb[/EDIT]
