I have been using SUS from Microsoft, and it can di this for you: you can select to update the monitored machines when you wish to, or gives a little pop up when some updates are available for download. You can also download the updates when they are available and pop-up a "Updates are available, do you want to install then now or later".
If I were you, I would of cource fore the updates nightly and everyday, to ensure they are installed :)

I have a solotion fot my It manager about updating the pc's in the company.He says that he doesnt have much time left to update them.
We can do like this:
There is a possibility to configure each workstation to download and install the updates in another time.
We can schedule 5 pc's in the company (including my pc). To download the updates and install them on Sunday (for example).and schedule all the other pc's to download and install the patches after 4 days. If we see that the updates are doing something bad to the machines we have 4 days to stop the updates from being deployed to the rest of the company. I think we can do it throw GPO.
What do u think about this solution ?
thanks
