The closest I've seen to working solutions for this in the Windows
realm have all been Commercial products such as Altiris, Bigfix, EPO,
whatever BMC renamed Marimba to, etc.  But there's probably some
self-selection there, as I'm guessing the typical Windows
shop--particularly large enterprise ones--is probably less likely to
be looking for open source solutions in the first place.
