Many thanks for that Roman, very helpful......I have however realised that there is a further complication. I use Serverdoc to restart the srcds instances everyday and reboot if there is a crash, not sure how to get the two functioning together without screwing things up completely. I suppose I'd have a similar problem if -autoupdate worked.
Normally it's not a problem for me to manually update the servers directly on the machines or via RDP. I am however going on holiday for a while and internet access may not always be available, plus I wanted to simply forget about the servers for a while! Not to worry, if there's an update people will just have to wait until I manage to hit a wireless network somewhere on my travels.......I suspect it shouldn't be too hard find one in California somewhere.

Just one little comment about hldsupdatetool being called twice - first run is to update tool itself, without this you may end up with server starting and updating at the same time resulting in non-working installation which will require an access to server console to fix. I have another more complicated batch file I wrote to simplify management of multiple servers on single box, let me know if you are interested.
