Windows Update Server
OK, here we go...
I am wondering if there is a program that will run on Debian that downloads and distributes Windows updates to clients. There would have to be an Windows executable on each client that queries the Linux server. Or an script maybe?
I have been looking at costs for this type of server and found it very expensive! Can't get away from Windows. But I do like to add Linux servers at work when I can. I update and maintain about 70 Win Clients and I cannot keep up with the damn updates without this type of server.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Jason
