| Ok,
Is the a news group for people pretending to be MCSE's or what?
Microsoft released a product called SUS (Software Update Service), look for
it at www.microsoft.com\security
You configure a server to hold all the patches and hot fixes, then approve
new ones when available.
Use a group policy template, to push or prompt to users workstations.
Learn about it, especially if taking 2003 exams.

That really depends on how many machines you need to
update.
SMS
or
You can make a chain of patch files (Research QCHAIN) and
execute them with a batch file. You can run the batch
from a network share. You can make a sheduled event on
the target that will run the batch at your chosen time.
Unfortunatly there are a few patches from MS that are so
specific that you cannot easily find and download them for
this. System Update Services or SMS helps with that. We
have SMS configured to use an XML file from MS that
contains a list of all patches. You can use this to
inventory your clients and identify what patches are
missing. You can build SMS packages for the patch(es) and
have them applied to the clients in the collection that
need them.
