Epic facepalming from FB land.
People are, rightfully, concerend and sad about the atrocity that happened in Manchester and yet the SAME people are cheering because some guy got crushed by an elephant that he shot... WTH!? Make up your minds people! Are you sad or happy when people die? You can't have it both ways!Hmmmmm, it's different though...one is Ironic after slaughtering a helpless animal, and the other is a terrorist attack. We process these things differently, as one died as a result of him being an idiot, and the others were tragically taken by some messed up person.
Not agreeing with them, the whole city here still has a weird feeling about it...so yeah...

SP1 on a previous Windows 7 install. No updates had been done on the machine. Had a Vista machine with no updates too...I cried. Because I had to deal with Vista.

Update torture almost over.... Almost. Gotta wait to reboot 2 more systems since the software is crappy.

Not quite that bad. But I have roughly an hour or so to update 42 machines and several of them had to be babysat today for one reason or another.

is that even possible? I mean, I guess if you script it all and the bandwidth is there, it's possible I guess.

It's very possible. I'm usually done in ~45 minutes except in rare cases like this... Admittedly, I do cheat on my Linux systems... I use Multiexec in MobaXterm and boom. I can update 15 or 20 Linux systems all at once.
As of today, 3 of my Windows ones can be set to run on their own. I got 3 more to get approval for.

You have to manually intervene in order to have your Debian/RedHat systems update? How sad.

Agreed. Fortunately I have tools that make the Linux ones relatively painless. And we're pretty much SuSE shop here.

If it were me, I'd have all our servers AutoSnapshot an hour before running updates, and then install the updates and reboot after they complete. This is easily done on Windows and Linux, lol.
