Title: Still trying to decide - Implementing a PM system
Standalone?  No.  SUS does fine on a server with other applications running.

SUS requires a stand alone Windows 2000/2003 Server does it not? SUS isn't a cheap solution if this is the case.

If you have no budget then why not rely on SUS 2.0 (WUS)?  Many people use SUS 1.0 and v2.0 sounds even better.

 

I wouldn't use Ghost as a patching solution. I read the posts.  Ghost just was never built from the ground up to be a patch management solution. I prefer to use products designed around a purpose, and not just "it can do this as well".

Several months back, I mentioned my greenness and the overwhelming feeling all the choices (regarding patch management) gave me.  I did some research and read a lot more posts.  Currently, we do all patching manually and there is no budget for a patch management solution, which means my suggestion must be cheap.  Norton's ghost seems cheap enough (we would only need 1 license) though hfnetcheck pro sounded reasonable as well.  I did see that I would need to write scripts for the Ghost to do updates, that isn't really a task I'm ready to take on.  Is hfnetcheckpro the same, will I inevitably need to learn how to script?  Still confused but learning...Thanks as always.


Sincerely,
 
Rich Marsh
