In an corporate environment, you will have SUS or SMS running.
If so, no need for internet access.

If you don't have this, just place a firewall on the box, or before the
box.
How hard can this be ? You do it the same way, as you would do before
you
would patch debian/*bsd/gentoo/ect/ect/ect.

There is no real problem here. Don't blame microsoft if you can't come
up with solutions to simple security "problems".
