Travis,

I have been using the Server Update Utility. I find the concept of the utility a wonderful thing, but in all actuality I have run into problems with using it. We have about 100 servers and I am looking for a more efficient way to "push" the updates as touching 100 servers individually is a time consuming nightmare. The goos thing about the update utility is it tries to combine the Bios, drivers and firmware instead of having to download each one seperately. The problem we are experiencing using it is half the time the updates don't succeed with the utilityor it says it did, but after a reboot and a rescan the server still shows as having older versions than the repository. Also, the utility does not include the OpenManage software, so we are finding ourselves having to touch each server again after the firmware updates to uninstall the old version and then install the new version. As you can tell this is feeling like a never ending process, if you or any one else knows of a better solution, I am open to suggestions.

Thanks

Mike.
