Software to update various programs

Hello,

I was wondering if there is software out there similar to the way Window Server Update service works, Where you can schedule and deploy updates such as: Java,Adobe,Open-Office,Macromedia etc to multiple computers within a network.

It would save so much time, The software would be pretty much priceless to me.

if anyone has heard of such a thing please let me know

Thanks!!!

Nice piece of software that would aid in tracking what updates I may need but it doesn't satisfy my request I need something that will allow me to deploy downloaded updates for non-microsoft products to numerous computers over a network.

I did some research and SMS 2003 seems to be plausible but we don't have the money in our budget ATM. I wish there was a free alternative or software that was a bit less expensive.

regardless thank you for the input vet.

 

Here is a good one if you are a little familiar with Linux apt-get

I think that might hit the spot :cool Thanks Dr. Also thank you Khg for your suggestion as well

 

Honestly this is perhaps the coolest and most useful piece of software I have come across yet!!!

I can deploy any update I want to multiple computers at the same time remotely!!!!!!!!

Not to mention I can schedule defrags,restarts,ipconfigs, anything you can think of remotely!!!

But perhaps the best part.... I can play any sound file on another persons computer hahah!! I spent my day spamming sounds on other co-workers laptops and they had no idea where it was coming from..
