How - Service pack 4 auto applied to any computer in win2k domain? 1

[nsg1000]

I have been trying to do this for a while now.

I have a network with a win2k server domain, and multiple client computers. I have been trying to make it so that when a computer starts up that doesnt have service pack 4 installed, the group policy auto applies the service pack. I have already packaged the sp4 as a msi and try to deploy it using group policy, but it doesnt seem to work. I have computers with sp3 that do not auto upgrade. How can I do this?

if you can affort, some high price tag patch management tool can do just that, or just go cheap like us use the HFNetChkPro LE, allowe to patch up to 50 svr/workstation, from

If you download the full SP4 install (about 138MB I think), it contains the required msi, & a readme which tells you how to do it...
