Patch Management Advice

Hello,

 I need to get a Patch Management system in place to keep up with making sure all systems are compliment and all MS and 3rd party software are up to date.. I am in a 100 user Law Firm with Windows 7 , Office 365, Flash Java, etc..etc.. type of environment. Can anyone recommend one?  MS System Management looks pretty complex to get up and running.

The best and i think the only way to update all apps (MS and Third Party) is with SCCM.

You can start with this article.

Lumension is another patch management product (previously known as Patchlink). I've had experience of that, and of SCCM but would recommend SCCM as the preferred solution. Not only will that give you the option of software updates for Windows software (and Abobe etc using Software Update Manager), you'll be able to package applications, deploy gold imaged PC's, use Endpoint Antivirus, have extensive reporting and asset inventory.

I really like the Shavlik solution.  It's going to work out to $1.80 per computer per month for 3 years.  Looks like I'll be pulling the trigger on this in Dec 2015.
Great, glad you liked it. Shame I don't get any commission - it sells itself. I may well suggest it where I work :).
