A few months back someone provided a link to information and/or software that would quarantine a new build on a 
workstation(unpatched and/or no service packs) until the new machine received all of the necessary security patches 
and service packs.  I believe it was a university.

I would appreciate it if it could be re-posted as I am going to be replacing 200 workstations in the upcoming months.


Windows 2003 has a quarantine function, and I also believe that Cisco has something along these lines. From Google:
