Updating Networked PCs

[Lepard]

I was wondering if this is possible... please bear with me as I am new to advanced networking.

OK. In my household I have 3 computers, mine, my parents and my sisters. I usually keep my computer up to date with Windows Update as well as keeping applications up to date. Now my parents and sister are not really tech savvy, so I have to manually update their computer at least once a week.

I was wondering if there is a way that I can, or is there a start-up script available online where the other 2 computers on boot would receive ALL the updates from my computer.

Is this possible?

not really....


Why not setup Automatic Updates?

um, turn on automatic updates and set the time for when you know the PC will be on (if they turn them off when they arent ujsing them)

Possible... yes. Practicle in your situation... No.

Start>Control Panel> Automatic Updates and select the "Download Updates for me, but let me choose when to install them." option

Assuming newer PC's this will give the user the option when they shutdown to let the PC install the updates and then shutdown.
