ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a system and method of installing software updates to computing devices connected to an enterprise network. More specifically, the present invention provides a system and method of installing software updates based on input received from a system administrator or similar entity. When a command to install a software update is received, the present invention obtains the requested software update from a download center and causes the software update to be transmitted to client computing devices that need the functionality provided by the software update. Then the software update is installed in accordance with the input previously obtained from the system administrator.
