I would like to know if there is a known way to establish a local server in an office's LAN that regularly (read "overnight") downloads updates from Microsoft and then all Windows 7 machines connecting from work network will download all the required updates from the single LAN server and not each one its copy from the Internet.

Patch Tuesdays are getting annoying to us a lot.

Thank you

Why is "he" in quotes? Is "he" a "she" or some kind of AI or extraterrestrial or...? – Bart Silverstrim Sep 21 '11 at 18:43

That's a shame. Would have been cool if you're an extraterrestrial. – Bart Silverstrim Sep 22 '11 at 12:25

WSUS

I'd say your original, non-padded version was appropriate, given the amount of effort the OP [didn't] put into research. – Ben Pilbrow Sep 21 '11 at 11:29

Look, they're both fine, just give each other a nice manly hug and get on with it. – Chopper3 Sep 21 '11 at 11:39

WSUS would be your first choice I guess ... If you do not want to use WSUS, or only at a central location and not in your local offices, see the download caching feature of WuInstall .
