Zotob Worm W2K Patch Deployment

[edtsui]

Being just a lowbie desktop grunt at work, I'm going around and running Windows Update on a bunch of PCs that are not leveled on updates/service packs. The admins are not running SMS.

Is there a way to do a single shot update of everything or am I doomed with a long day?

Right, and streamlined with WSUS which is FREE.

download the patch and create a batch file. Copy the batch file to the startup folder (or use GPO) and reboot all boxes (or just run the script)

Free with $500 purchase of Windows 2003, that is.
