I agree if you aren't so deep into patch management to need full solution. Just
setup WUS/SUS and let it run. It is free, easy to use but doesn't have all the
added features of full PM Solutions.
Here is a very good patch management listserv if you want to watch it.
patchmanagement@listserv.patchmanagement.org

I have been using SUS from Microsoft, and it can di this for you: you can
select to update the monitored machines when you wish to, or gives a little pop
up when some updates are available for download. You can also download the
updates when they are available and pop-up a "Updates are available, do you
want to install then now or later".
If I were you, I would of cource fore the updates nightly and everyday, to
ensure they are installed :)

I have a solotion fot my It manager about updating the pc's in the company.He
says that he doesnt have much time left to update them.
We can do like this:
There is a possibility to configure each workstation to download and install
the updates in another time.
We can schedule 5 pc's in the company (including my pc). To download the
updates and install them on Sunday (for example).and schedule all the other
pc's to download and install the patches after 4 days. If we see that the
updates are doing something bad to the machines we have 4 days to stop the
updates from being deployed to the rest of the company. I think we can do it
throw GPO.
What do u think about this solution ?
thanks
