Re: How to decide whether a window update should be installed or n

Hi, Torgeir Bakken:
Is there any chance I can do it programmatically? Since I am managing
around 60 computers. I do not want to use the toolkit you mentioned in your
message one by one manually. Instead, I am planning to do it
programmatically.

Thanks,
Penguin
