    Hi,

    You can implement Windows Server Update Services to install patches and updates on your systems.

    That patch is only required to support RODC.  Are you using RODC on any of your sites?  If not the patch is not required.

    Hi all,

    Thanks for all the reply but   I need the script to run this patch

    As

    Do you have an RODC?  I suspect that you don't.  It is only available on demand.  In almost all domains this patch is not required to use MDT.

    If yuo r4eally want to play with this thenlook in the reposiroty (link on menu) and you willfind many scripts that can deploy software to machines remotely.

    YOu cannot install apatch using alogon script or a startup script.  YOu can use a remote process but must copy the patch to teh remote system in order to install it. 

    It is possible to use PowerSHellremoting to install a patch and we can also use PsExec. 

    There are examples of all of these methods in the repository.

    Post back with any question after you have selected a script.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Start by copying the service pack to every computer using the following template.  You will hav eto develop and test it in your own environment as we cannot do that for you.

    for /f %%i in ('type servers.txt') do (
     md \\%%i\c$\patch
     copy patchfile.exe \\%%i\c$\patch
)

    Place the above code in a file with a BAT extension.  Creatre ethe fiel 'servers.txt' with the names of all of the servers you want to patch.

    This will place a copy of the patch on all servers.  If ther eis more than one patch version then make multiple copies of this file one for each version.

    Once you have successfully deployed the patch files you can use WMI to execute the files remotely using the same server names files.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The code you posted was developed for a specific type of patching.  It is also not complete and will not work remotely.

    FOr waht you want just copy the file and run a one or two line WMI vbscript.  You do not need to go through so much pain to do this one-time thing.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You can simplify this script you copied of the net. This is the only code you need.

    Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
DSSBinLocation = "\\DC1CODENV\patches\"
CommandLine = DSSBinLocation & "WindowsXP-KB944043-v3-x86-ENU.exe/quiet /nobackup /forceappsclose /warnrestart:60"
WshShell.Run CommandLine, 1, false

    This script will need to be run on each XP client. Via login, script, SMS/SCCM, Alteris etc. It will need to run in an administrative context.

    Once you have successfully deployed the patch files you can use WMI to execute the files remotely using the same server names files.

    HI Andrew,

      I don't have much access to Source Domain. I'm the Target Domain admin. So i need this to push from my end. I have add to their local administrator group and all the XP got me as local admin. So i can push this patch install.

     So how do i combine your script with adding the  your code with  JRV

      " for /f %%i in ('type servers.txt') do ( ) "

    Andew - that will likely not work. 

    You need to copy the file to  the target and use WMI Win32_process to excute the patch with the /quiet switch. As an alternate use PsExec.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Have up copied the patch. Are you able to copy it.  If you are not is the target domain there is a hugh likely hood that you cannot copy this file to teh remote system.  That is why I suggested copying it first.  If you can copy it then just run the same loop with PsExec to execute the file.

    PsExec @servers.txt "c:\patch\patchfile.exe" /quiet

    For remote install the /quiet switch is required.  Only the /norestart switch can be combined.  No other switches will work with /quiet and and you should not use /nobackup when running a remote install.

    It is also possible to use PsExec to copy and run the file in one call but some patches may not function when done this way.  Coying first avoids this issue.

    PsExec @servers.txt -c "c:\localpath\patchfile.exe" /quiet

    The -c says to copy the local file to the remote.

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553

    Other patch switches need to be chosen based on your required behavior.


    I want to note once again.  If you are not using RODC which is highly likely then you do NOT need this patch.  IF RODCs were installed by Domain Admins they would have installed this patch or your domain would not be working.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I have used the script linked on this page:

    http://www.rlmueller.net/Deploy.htm

    to deploy and run any executable (such as one to patch computers) to all computers in a specified group. You would need to create a group with all XP computers as members.
