FYI WSUS should most likely be a component of your strategy, it will
keep most selected Microsoft Products patched & updated.
For running up/deploying machines with standard builds with managed
operating environments various Microsoft management products including
SCCM should be considered/included.
SCCM allows Task Sequences to be created for performing exactly that
on collections & machines based upon custom defined criteria.
It allows applications including non-Microsoft applications to be
packaged & deployed to machines & collections.
You may also wish to look at Secunia's products including their CSI +
PSI which audit machines & provide facilities to update those
machines.
Simple standalone things similar to Secunia's PSI include FileHippo's
Update Checker.
