I like to have a way to be able to check automatically or notify me that
there is a new update. For those servers, I can do periodically, but for
those desktops, if I want to do all, I like pick some of them.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to control windows updates from a central location, you
probably want to deploy SUS

Danny,
Thank you for your reply. I heard SUS, haven't done any test on it.
I'm not quite comfortable with SUS yet, first step actually I like to find a
way for me to check the update automatically, then I would pick some updates
and figure a way to deploy them on the network. Because some updates would
crash the PC, like to have some control on it.
Please advise,
sarah

You can access the windows update catalog and download individual updates
for testing.
