<DIV>Hi George,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here's a few more tools/programs in addition to HFNetChk Pro</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Microsoft SUS</DIV>
<DIV>St. Bernard Update Expert</DIV>
<DIV>BigFix and EMV</DIV>
<DIV>Total Command</DIV>
<DIV>Citadel's Hercules</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some of these are Automated Vulnerability Remediation tools as well as patch management tools. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Command Software has some white papers comparing some of these tools. Of course they are somewhat biased to their own tool. But it least gives somewhat of a side-by-side comparison of these tools.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The address is <A href="http://www2.commandsoftware.com/Documentation/";>http://www2.commandsoftware.com/Documentation/</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps. Take care.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
