Default xp updates

just wondering...

i work in a corporate type setting... bandwidth is at a premium at some of
our sites due to the fact that they can be very remote, dialup is the best
we can get and even that is lucky to connect sometimes above 36kbps. As you
might imagine keeping systems patched has been a bit of a challenge. I
stumbled across xp autoupdater a few weeks ago and have only had limited
time to test it, but from what I have seen so far its pretty cool.

Just wondering what other people use, if anything, to get around this type
of issue? Ideally, is there any software avail.. or does anyone have any
experience taking a large number of pacthes and recompiling them into one
big .msi installation?

If you're in a corporate type setting, then on a Windows Domain?

If so, check out WSUS - it's free from our friends at Microsoft. Only
download the patch once for everyone.
