Hello experts,

You guys always seem to have the answers.

Is there a way to push out the Microsoft patches through
GPO? I recently downloaded WindowsXP-KB840374-x86-
ENU.EXE, but in order to push this through GPO, it needs
to be in .MSI format. Is there someplace where I can go
and download all the Microsoft patches in .MSI format?
Preferable .MSI file that can be run in silent mode. Or
is there a way I can work with the current .EXE format?
Can I get the .EXE to run silently, with some type of
switch? Then maybe run a start up script, which points to
the .EXE, which run silently?
What is the best way to approach this?

Thank You
