AlfredE - I don't know much about SMS. My network isn't large enough to warrant it.

I can tell you it is a very sophisticated network management tool. It will do updates, but that is just the start of it. It does software and hardware inventories, software deployment, OS deployment, reporting and much more. The current version of SMS is being replaced with System Center Configuration Manager 2007.

You can get more information and a trial here.

once you set it up wsus is a great tool and resource. it can be used for ad or workgroup machines. it has also proven very helpful in a network not connected to the internet and instances where the server gets net and the workstations dont. like in a school lab or what not. thank you for the reminder to set mine up. it was in my new years resolution list. i should just add it back to this years.

do you have a good batch file or Command to edit the registry for a workgroup machine to use the wsus server?
