I know there are a number of suites out there that allow Windows machines on a Domain, or in Active Directory to be remotely administrated (windows updates, program installs, maintenance, etc); but does there exist a package that does this for non-AD/Domain setups?

The kind of things I'm looking for:

  • manage windows updates, + automatic applying
  • custom package pushing (custom scripts, etc)
  • general maintenance, visibily of health
  • works for 2003/2008/2008R2
  • works without Active Directory or being part of a Domain

(Might be able to manage putting all the machines on a Workgroup, if that helps)
