Win2k Server tools

[siqbal75]

Hello,

Does any know if win2k server has some sort of tools (free offcourse) where you can manage any desktops/workstation from the PDC itself. What I mean by managing is that you should be able to not only scan the target machine for any security holes/updates, but also do a "force update" on the target machine from the PDC directly. I know Microsoft has Baseline security Analizer, but it only allows to only scan the target machine, not actually force the updates to that machine.

Any tools from Microsoft or any other third part (freewares)

Thanks..

If you setup Windows Server Update Services, you can push down critical updates, patches, service packs, etc to any/all machines within your organization, and have full reporting.
