Hi...
is it possible to install the microsoft patch for
the Worm MS/BLASTER to about 300 windows 2000 pro
client pcs without using the RIS Services...?
All the users are standard users and the patch needs to be administrators...How can i get through this
thanks

A couple of ideas.
First, it is not RIS that handles patches (RIS is remote installation services for new OS installs, like running Ghost). Software Update Services (SUS) is the new way to remotely install patches to Win2K/XP clients.

So, you could roll out SUS, and have it remotly install patches for you.
That would be the easy way, I would guess.

Another option would be to connect to each machine remotely using a tool like PSEXEC from Sysinternals (www.sysinternals.com). PSEXEC will open a remote Command Prompt on the target machine, but you have control of the Prompt from your workstation.
You could then install the patch from the Command Prompt.
There have been a couple other questions on this board asking the same things.

Or, if you want, you can find W32.Welchia.Worm, which is the "white" worm version of this. It is a worm that will patch the RPC exploit.
But, I don't recommend doing it this way. Just interesting.....
