Huang,
For your hotfix needs and all your other deployment woes, check out
Universal Imaging Utility (UIU) www.uiu4you.com. It creates one master
hardware-independent image easily deployable across your entire
environment.
Good Luck,

We don't want to let end-user to install hotfix by themselves, is there any
other way than WSUS?

The end-user shouldn't be installing anything at all. In fact - the
end-user shouldn't have the rights needed to install anything. ;-)

WSUS manages this for you - the machines check the WSUS server - where you
approve the updates that should go to the machine(s) and the machines take
those updates and install them. It's Automatic Updates - but with you in
control of what is offered to the machines.
