Live update, depending on the version of NAV you have, will pull either the whole update file, or only the portion of the file that is different from what you already have. Internally we use live update from our own liveupdate server. On systems that have NAV7.X in managed mode this works very well. It gives us a chance to verify the updates before implementing them.

Forever curious, that me. Last time I looked at Live Update, they also sold a proxy that one could use to prevent several hundred machines from requesting the updates at once. I would hope this proxy could also be used to simplify installing patches. Contact your sales agent for details. -- UniNet InfoSec Conference April 15-19 http://infosec.uninet.edu
