<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Yup. Talks to our own ASUS so we control the updates, we don’t include Firmware updates since it requires being physically there. But we also don’t set our update server as the default for machines so you can still run Software Updates locally if you have admin to do the Firmware updates from Apples server.<BR>

I was thinking of creating a smart group of all computers that have 1 or more updates available, but it just contains every computer in inventory. <BR>
<BR>
We user our own software update server, so none of the updates get activated until we are sure they are safe, so I'm comfortable with updating my machines automatically if there are updates available.<BR>
<BR>
Has anyone implemented this?<BR>
