Domain Policy

[netadmin06]

Hello IT Experts,

IS there a way to create a policy that will force every system in my Domain(WIN2K3 Domain Controller/DHCP/DNS) automatically Download and Install Windows updates? I would also like the policy to make every system in my network to have the built in Windows Firewall turned on always.

You can handle the firewall through a GPO...for the updates you'll need a WSUS server as well as a GPO.
