Juan,
InstallPatch.vbs:
set
oshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")oshell.run("%PathToPatch%\importantpatch.exe /quiet /norestart")
I renamed the patch
importantpatch.exe

KB899588
Hi there, I am trying to apply this
patch to some windows 2000 servers and I was wondering if the reboot is strictly
mandatory?! If I used the /norestart switch to ran it from the command
line I do get the patch under add and remove programs. Also the version of the
file gets updated under c:\winnt\ssystem32.
What do you
think?
Juan
RE: [ActiveDir] Latest MS patch KB899588
Are you wondering if restarting the server is mandatory? I suspect that it is, unless you really dont want to be protected. Often times, the components being replaced are only read on system startup. Given that the bulletin specifically says: Restart Requirement You must restart your system after you apply this security update. Id say, u, yeah.

RE: [ActiveDir] Latest MS patch KB899588
The /norestart option is available for this patch. You can choose to use it and wait for the latest mutation of the worm to hit the server and reboot it for you, or you could just simply schedule your patch-and-reboot time and ensure that the server is REALLY protected. What I'm trying to say in a round-about way is patch and reboot ALREADY!.

Thanks. So the reboot is not mandatory/required using this script right?

RE: [ActiveDir] Latest MS patch KB899588
Juan, A reboot is REQUIRED only IF you want the system to be protected. IF you install the patch and do not reboot the system, the patch will NOT protect you.
