<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> We have two networks, one AD and one NT4.0. We can not use AD </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> to deploy MSI</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> patch packages to workstations that are not part of the AD (Active</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Directory), but are part of the NT domain. Not really interested in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> purchasing SMS as it seems too costly (why should we?). Considering</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> HFNetChkPro 4 to automate the deployment of patches to our </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> workstations and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> servers, as doing it manually is far too costly and time </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> consuming for the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> company. Are there any other utilities or software that </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> anyone (possibly</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> free?) recommends that could be used to simplify patch deployment and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> management to every workstation and server. We use Windows </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> NT, 2000 and XP</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> workstation products, and NT4.0/2000/2000 Adv server products.</FONT>
