Hello. I am going to be doing a disaster recovery test in a few weeks and I
have a problem with the way to get the patches installed. We will be going
offsite and there will be no internet access to the servers. The server
hardware will be different from what we use daily as well. We only have a
limited amount of time to do the test also. I have backups of the servers
and the patches burned to cd's but since there is probably over a hundred of
them it will take forever to do it this way. Is there a way I can get these
servers up to the same level as my production servers without having to
install patches one by one? Thank you for your help.
