try this

you can maybe try using tivoli, although i hear it is painful...it has not work really great for me.

you can also try a product called "on Stage". you can push all sort of patches and packages through it via a respository type of setup. It works really well for linux implementations, i think it can work for all sorts of OS depending on the agent installed.

setup.types(5)						      Easy Software Products						    setup.types(5)

NAME

       setup.types - epm gui setup types file format.

DESCRIPTION

       The EPM setup program normally presents the user with a list of software products to install, which is called a "custom" software installa-
       tion.

       If a file called setup.types is present in the package directory, the user will instead be presented with a  list  of  installation  types.
       Each  type has an associated product list which determines the products that are installed by default. If a type has no products associated
       with it, then it is treated as a custom installation and the user is presented with a list of packages to choose from.

FILE FORMAT

       The setup.types file is an ASCII text file consisting of type and product lines. Comments can be inserted by starting a line with the pound
       sign  (#).  Each  installation type is defined by a line starting with the word TYPE. Products are defined by a line starting with the word
       INSTALL:

     TYPE Typical End-User Configuration
     INSTALL foo
     INSTALL foo-help
     TYPE Typical Developer Configuration
     INSTALL foo
     INSTALL foo-help
     INSTALL foo-devel
     INSTALL foo-examples
     TYPE Custom Configuration

       In the example above, three installation types are defined. Since the last type includes no products, the user will be presented  with  the
       full list of products to choose from.
