Are there any software packages available (or NT utilities) to create an automatic install for service packs, windows updates, application upgrades, etc... I know this can be done with Win2K and active directory, but I need to be able to do this on several NT4.0 networks.

SMS or Microsoft Systems Management Software will do this. 2.0 works with NT.

There is a lot on the microsoft web site just for this, deploying software.
For every software you have there is a way to deploy it without any user input.
Some times you have isntructions with the software itself, look in the menu for Unattended installation.
For windows 2000 there is 3 ways I know of.
RIS, an answer file, and Image.

The remote install program they use in Win2K is from the the Desktop Management Suite that Veritas puts out. You can get that product for Win NT also.
