SUS or Something Else?
Used to use AdventNet Security Mgr Plus to deploy patches to workstations, but now am running Windows 7 on my domain, and this product requires remote registry to be active. Don't want to do that...so I need a new product.
Tried SUS but it's a big waiting game (wait to detect the systems after GP configures them, schedule the updates, hope for the best)
I prefer downloading the patches automatically, but deploying the patches manually (right-click, deploy, or "deploy all" by a group.) SUS is...TOO automated. What should I use instead?

I'll give the command line a shot. Going to miss Manage Engine tho :(
A command I have found so useful is the following - this ensures the update runs straight away:
net stop wuauserv
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\W indows\Cur rentVersio n\WindowsU pdate\Auto Update" /v LastWaitTimeout /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\W indows\Cur rentVersio n\WindowsU pdate\Auto Update" /v DetectionStartTime /f
Reg Delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\W indows\Cur rentVersio n\WindowsU pdate\Auto Update" /v NextDetectionTime /f
net start wuauserv
wuauclt /detectnow
