Hi all, Just to note I am fairly new with Kix.
We have rolled out Windows7 32 and 64bit desktops and laptops (using WDS) and are looking at the best ways of keeping the clients updated with MS patches. We have been using kix along with su on our XP desktops for patching (su used for installing as administrator).
I am wondering what would be the best method of checking if a particular patch exists and if not then to run the MS patch file from a shared server location. I think with Win7 it will need running as administrator though.
Any advice or examples of scripts would be very helpful
Thanks, Hans

As Mart pointed out, from an administrative standpoint, WSUS is your best option. However if you want to check things manually, or scriptable check out MSBA
Oh and if you run a single WSUS server (meaning no upstream or downstream WSUS server, you can also check out Local Update Publisher Here you can add 3rd party stuff, like Adobe Flash, Java Sun etc. also driver packages if they are packaged. But keep in mind, this requires some expertise and messes up your environment if you are running upstream and downstream WSUS servers.
