Windows 2003 patches

[Guest mikee]

We have a w2k3 domain. We have some servers on our dmz and we can't give them

access to the internet to download patches. Does microsoft have a site that

has all the patches, and something that will scan the server and then

install all needed patches from a cd or dvd? We don't want to have to

download the patches one by one and then copy them to a disk. ie an iso of

all pathces that we can install would be nice.

 

Thanks in advance

Two options for you:

 

1. MS Security Bulliten Center:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx

 

2. Security Releases ISO page:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ad629d05-f2b2-47ab-8ef3-dbee36e8c60b&displaylang=en&tm

We have servers that haven't been patched in a year. Is there an iso image

or other type that has all the patches up until now? Also can it scan the

server and tell us what patches it need?

 

Thanks in advance

There is no "Up Until Now" patch set since these releases are monthly

updates. It is assumed the machine being updated is Internet capable

for updating. You would have to manually download and apply past

updates or connect it to the Internet, run Windows Update, and

disconnect again. There is no easy way around it.

Hello mikee,

 

I assume in the internal network, not dmz, you have internet access. Install

WSUS there and let the dmz machines pull the updates from the WSUS.
