Anyone have some pointers on how to update some Windows NT boxes that
do not have Internet access? Of course, the automated Windows tools
want to talk to microsoft.com, but out security policy does not allow
that. The number of boxes is limited, so the approach need not be too
scalable and can't be too $$$ for just a handful of machines. However,
going through the registry, writing down all of the versions, going to
an Internet-connected system, looking up patches, downloading and
applying individually is just too labor intensive and too prone to
error.
Doing a quick-n-dirty SUS server seemed like a good idea until we
realized SUS doesn't do Windows NT 4.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
