And actually, perhaps my thread title is wrong.  After looking at the
SUS web page, MS doesn't even let you add your own updates to the SUS
server, which is one of my requirements.  ;)

My main goal here is to be able to do things like antivirus deployment
without having to go to every machine, and to handle any future needs
for software deployment, without spending a ton of money on MS licensing
if I can avoid it.

The other half of what I want to do is single-sign-on, but there's
enough resources on that that I'm certain I can do it with Samba (I have
a variation of it with samba2 already, here, in place, but I want to
move to an LDAP store, among other things...)
