MS releases lots of security patches/hotfixes. - Is there any tool whereby we can configure it to automatically download the patches? it's time consuming to download all these security patches one by one. Why would you be downloading the patches one by one? (by knowing what you're trying to accomplish, we might be able to provide better suggested solutions for you) In general, Windows Update is your best bet to download and install multiple patches for single machines, or WSUS to deploy updates from one machine out to other machines.

Sorry...i was not quite explicit. Here i mean applying security patches on Windows Servers. Windows updates and WSUS do a great job. My issue is in applying patches on servers...whereby there is no internet connection, no windows updates, etc...for security reasons. some servers are in the DMZ zone, workgroup, etc...whereby patches have to be applied manually...that is download and install patches manually. When security patches are released..we have to download manually which is quite time consuming. Please help.

Hello, thanks for the info. let me try this and will keep you posted. Thanks.

hello guys... how fast does the WSUS server downloads the patches from the internet? if MS has released patches today...when same will be downloaded and available on my wsus serveR? Thanks

WSUS Offline updater http://download.wsusoffline.net/ Awesome in a pinch if you have to update an offline server.
