I can say we use a server-based solution and also some hosts go directly to Windows Update (namely our laptops). Through the server we automatically deploy patches to a small, select group of test users so that we begin testing patches almost immediately. We then follow-up with MBSA sweeps to ensure we have an acceptable level of compliance across all networks. In a rush we can get all hosts patched within a week. But we average 2.5 - 3 weeks to an acceptable compliance level. Unfortunately I can’t share the details.
