Description/Problem:
Everybody who is using Microsoft Windows operating system knows what it means patching. Microsoft preparing every month new set of security patches related to MS Windows, Office and Internet Explorer. The best way how to perform patching is using Windows Update utility. What we can do if the system is not connected to the internet? We can use the offline DVD ISO image with monthly patches. The size of this image is often above 1 GB and that’s the problem if you need distribute this data around several systems. The next option is related to the 3rd party utilities which are able prepare list of missing patches, distribute patches to target systems and perform easy and fast installation of released patches. If you need this kind of tools then you can try the Windows Offline Update. It’s not the best one, but it’s easy, flexible and ready also for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.
