Windows serving depots

Alex Lavrov. — Wed, 12 Oct 2005 13:35:35 GMT

Thanx,
Alex.

I personally can not see this happening, at least effetively, but theoretically, if you run windows services for unix and run an NFS server on your windows machine, and use this NFS mounted filesystem as your depot. If there is a newer swagentd process for windows that I am not aware of, that is a different story..

I think I was mislead by this document:

Theres software called Patchlink.

www.patchlink.com

We use it to patch our windows servers, but it does indeed allow us to patch our hpux servers. But we've only tested it. And honestly don't use it for it. I don't really trust it. ;)

I prefer to do it myself, but if you look at the datasheet:

Multi-Platform Support â The only patch detection and deployment software available for managing heterogeneous
networks including all MS operating systems, UNIX, Linux, Sun, HP, IBM and Macintosh. Includes remote monitoring from
any platform.
