Subject: Automating patch deployment
Hi George,
Here's a few more tools/programs in addition to HFNetChk Pro
Microsoft SUS
St. Bernard Update Expert
BigFix and EMV
Total Command
Citadel's Hercules
Some of these are Automated Vulnerability Remediation tools as well as patch management tools.
Command Software has some white papers comparing some of these tools. Of course they are somewhat biased to their own tool. But it least gives somewhat of a side-by-side comparison of these tools.
The address is http://www2.commandsoftware.com/Documentation/
Hope this helps. Take care.

Hi George
Not sure about free, but SecurityExpressions from Pedestal and LANGuard from
GFI software are both cost effective fix deployment solutions, as always if
you discover more please let me know and I'll update my host scanning pages
accordingly. I've never included a field on the site for this before but
feel it's a good cause as most of us are looking for such tools to ease the
Windows experience.
Whilst I'm on this soapbox IMHO MS have actually improved their
vulnerability rectification process, though some may say it's about bl**dy
time and if the code was secure in the first place would it be necessary
;o)
take care
