Distributing Critical Updates

[Jeremy McPeak]

Our organization, a school district, was hit by the
blaster worm. As a result, we are having to go to every
campus and install all the critical updates on every
machine one machine at a time. While we do not have
advanced server (we just have regular Windows 2000
Server), is there a way to set the server to download all
critical updates (both for Win2000 and WinXP) and then
distribute those updates when the computers log on to the
network?

Thanks,

Jeremy McPeak
