  I'll be honest, I'm not sure what this would go under and I am still learning how all this works.
  
  I am the 1st tier tech at 4 places with about 150 clients and 2 servers at each. We have resorted to completely disabling Windows Update to try reduce our monthly internet costs because 608 PCs updating? Even a small 2MiB update becomes 1.2GiB very quickly.
  
  What I would like to know is if there is an application that we can install on our servers (Server 2003 SP2) that could download the updates we want once and distribute them to the XP clients as necessary? And is it possible to allow only one to download the initial bulk (because it'll probably try downloading everything since SP2 :P) and copy the folder to the other 3? What setup is needed on the server and clients? I've tried making sense of WSUS... but I'm getting nowhere. I don't even know if I am barking up the right tree.
  And could this be applied to other Microsoft products like Office 2007?
  
  I really hope someone can help me set this up. My boss has tried in the past but got nowhere. So I'd like to pick up the trail and try sort this out.
  
  Any useful information would be GREATLY appreciated.
  
  Thanks
