If you currently have SMS then yes you can use it to patch your servers. It
will give you a better reporting than just using WSUS. Though as mentioned
before if you have nothing then go ahead and get SCCM which will use WSUS to
patch.

Hi,

I have around 200 Servers including Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 and
wanted to confirm whether i can use SMS 2003 for complete patch
management activity in all 200 Servers.I overheard that SMS is not
feasible/recommended for Server Patch Management. Pls help...
