GRC's PatchWork utility?

[Joe \Nuke Me Xemu\ Foster]

Does Gibson Research's PatchWork utility cover enough of the known
security holes in NT Server, IIS, and SQL Server, or should we
instead wrestle with MS' patch manager utility? PatchWork is at:

No. Its seems to only check for the FBI stuff:
http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/security/NIPC.asp

There are plenty of other hotfixes around. Too bad windowsupdate doesn't
include server patches like IIS patches since I can't seem to find any easy
way to install hotfixes on many servers.

Well maybe if hotfixes would have a console interface instead of forcing the
use of the GUI:

Could make life so easy....
