Today, another really nifty tool for update deployment. Weather you have a computer that missed a few patches, or a fresh install you are trying to catch up to the rest of your network autopatcher is a easy solution. All you have to do is download a little exe and it will connect to Microsoft.com, and get the latest patches. When you run the application it will automatically determine what you are missing on the computer.  These are automatically selected, then check any add-ons you want to install, and away you go. Now what makes this nifty is once the patches are downloaded once, it works offline. If you have a few computers to update it doesn’t bottle neck your bandwidth. Even better than that it will run off a thumbdrive or a network share and does not require install of the patcher application on the client side. Just another solution when you need to process a update quickly, or update a few computers at a office that is running a low bandwidth WAN. Also it is another substitute to windows update that does not require you to go through the validation process.  It supports windows 2ksp4, vista, server 2003, and xp sp3, in a few different languages and over both X86, and X64 architecture.
