Wsus would not care about domains, I would say that you put in a downstream sever if your domains have limited bamdwidth.

Is there a reason why you haven't considered WSUS? It's easy to set up and
administer. And it's *FREE*.....sounds like it would sure save you a lot of
work....

We are a small organization and have been successfully using this
approach for many years:
We add a scheduled task (running as an admin) to each workstation and
server upon install.  The task runs a batch file (updates.bat) on a
network share at a set time each night.  When we want to install patches
or other software, we simply edit updates.bat by adding a call to the
latest set of patches.  To avoid re-installing a set of patches, we have
the batch file write a marker file to each workstation upon running, and
then check for existence of this marker before running.

So, updates.bat has a series of lines like this:

if not exist c:\utility\patch0803.mrk call
\\server1\install\vista\patches\patch0803.bat 

This has the added benefit of automatically catching up new workstations
as they are built.

Subject: Patches Managment for just a few srvers

I am looking for a way to do patch management for 3 to 4 servers and
still I
don't what to do it manually. I would love to use a free push type
system
yet not too sure what to go with.  I have heard GREAT things about HF
Check
net Pro and used it for a few months when contracting services to a
client
yet I believe it's out of my price range.

****  Note


I also would like to push patches out to desktops as well and servers
alike
in different domains  this would be different clients on different
networks.

What ideas do you guys have for this type of Patch Management
deployment?
