Patching a non-networked computer

We have a desktop computer at our corporate office that, for security
reasons, cannot be networked yet we somehow have to keep it patched with the
latest updates. It is in a secure location and is only accessible by
specific personnel with security clearances.

I went into the Update Catalog online to see if I could download the
executables to a CD, DVD or memory stick. I need all te updates that were
ever released since a specific date. Can this be done? How might I go about
achieving this?

Also, can we set up some kind of agreement with Microsoft that they would
send us a CD or email with any new patches so that we could install them on
this computer?

Trevor,

Since the system is kept in a secure location and it's not networked, is
there a legal reason for why it must be updated ? According to that
scenario, it's not at risk regardless of which updates have been or have
not been installed. If there is a legal or other reason why it needs to
be kept updated, read on ...

All monthly Security updates can obtained on an ISO image here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e... stype=s_basic

They should be listed in a descending order if the link functions
properly. If not, go here and enter Security ISO in the
" Search All Download Center " field:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

If you need a list of all updates available for the system:

"Security updates should *never* have *non-security content* prechecked"

Currently the MU catalog does not support that as criteria yet but you could
sort and select accordingly.

Mow's follow up shows you specific download center and technet areas for
now.
