This is the way I have handled patches in the pass on NT clients.
Load the Client Installers and Patches on an NT Machine.
In the bp.conf file of the clients add, the IP address of the NT Server
after the Master Server
SERVER = 000.000.000.000 <- ip address of master
SERVER = 000.000.000.000 <- ip address of nt server with client
installers.
Launch the Installer or Patch Installer from the NT Server,
you have the option to install/patch the current machine or clients on the
network.
