And there is also the ever so slight chance that AstaaLavista has never heard of WSUS. I was just throwing it out there.

I know what you mean about management. When MS was going to discontinue support on SUS so many people complained. I couldn't figure out why when WSUS is clearly superior in every way. Like you pointed out... good old red tape. Who wants change when you have to fill out 'TPS report' after 'TPS report' and explain something technical to non-technical users! All just to install needed security patches.

I do appreciate that you didn't blast me for thinking outside the KiXtart 'box'.
