centralized windows updates

[rob]

hi all I appologize if this has been asked before, but I
didnt see it when searching. I am looking for a way to
have the client computers on the network automatically
download the windows updates from a server on the same
network. I also want to be able to pick each update that
would be installed. does anyone know of an inexpensive
way to do this?

thanks
Rob

Network Specs:
apx 45 client pc's running windows XP SP1 professional
