Patch Management

HoundDog believes that IT Support and Managed Service toolsets need not require big upfront expense, complicated set-up or long-term contracts. That's why we've integrated with a range of free and easy tools, including Microsoft's® Windows Server Update Services for managing both server and client patching.

Information is Power

HoundDog’s integration with WSUS means you're alerted to sites where computers require updates, updates have not been applied, and more. You'll be alerted by email and/or SMS, and via your online DashBoard or MiniDash™ on your phone. No more manual daily or weekly checks of every client's WSUS server. You'll be alerted by exception only when that system is experiencing problems. Once they're alerted to the problem, HoundDog users simply logon on to WSUS and sort the issue. Easy, effective - and very affordable.

HoundDog and WSUS can be used to manage updates for all critical Microsoft updates, including:

  • Windows 2000
  • Windows XP (32-bit, IA-64 and x64 Editions)
  • Windows Vista
  • Windows Server 2003
  • Windows Small Business Server 2003
  • Exchange Server 2000
  • Exchange Server 2003
  • Exchange Server 2007
  • SQL Server
  • SQL Server 2005
  • Office XP
  • Office 2003
  • Microsoft ISA Server 2004
  • Microsoft Data Protection Manager
  • Microsoft ForeFront
  • Windows Live
  • Windows Defender

You can be alerted to the number of Critical Updates that have not installed successfully on all computers and when the WSUS server is out of sync with the repository. Your DashBoard shows other information that helps you diagnose the problem instantly, including last sync result, last sync time, sync status, and number of critical updates not yet installed successfully on all computers. Essentially, you'll see the information presented on WSUS's front panel - but it will be available for every one of your clients through one consolidated online HoundDog DashBoard - anywhere and anytime.
