On March 11th, Microsoft released 14 new patches, 5 of them being critical and 9 listed as important.

Not much to say about this but ugh, just more nights where I need to be at work pushing critical patches and rebooting servers.  My reason for posting this article would be to see how many in class are pushing out critical patches as they are released or are you waiting for a normal "patch night" as you would normally patch servers.

Do you use automated systems to push patches?  If so what do you like/dislike about them?  We have chosen to use WSUS as it is free and fairly simple to use.  We do have to use alternate methods to push Flash, Java and the numerous other systems that require patches every couple weeks but WSUS seems to do the job for us.
