Software rollout / Pushing patches to PCs etc

[DCMHPCDOC]

My company has an NT 4 server. Our workstations are Windows 2k pro. Is there a good way to automatically push updates, fixes, patches, etc to each workstation without physitcally going to every pc. Does anyone know of a good software packages that does this type of thing? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

If your servers were Win2k, there are reasonable facilities available under Group Policy and Intellimirror.

Under NT you really need to look at the possible use of the Windows Installer, including Third-Party repackaging tools:

You likely will have to depend more on logon scripting than your Win2k cousins than Group Policy.

You might talk to the folks at Shavlik:
