Re: [Unattended] Windows Updates
I highly recommend the RyanVM Integrator: http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ It lets you integrate all of the patches right into the cd, so they're already installed when you lay down the OS. Saves a pile of time (an ever growing amount), as well as keeping you secure right from the get go. I don't even bother with the updates script anymore. This is way better for me. -Ben On Wed, Mar 14, 2007 at 08:35:28AM -0500, Benjamin Burton wrote: +> What is the best way to automate getting the Windows updates?

Re: [Unattended] Windows Updates, failed status 246
The actual update pack is just a 7-zip file, so you should be able to open it and see the contents. The integrator executable is the automation wrapper that injects the contents of the .7z. If you don't mind the horribly long time it takes to serially install all of the updates post-xp install, the default unattended script should work for you. I used to make it save the reboot for the end, which saved some time. If the error 246 isn't a critical error, you could put .ignore-err 246 in front of the particular update that is generating it. Many options, and they all suck. It would be really nice if MS was decent enough to release an sp3 with these rolled in...I'm not holding my breath. -Ben On Thu, Dec 07, 2006 at 02:23:04PM -0500, Benjamin Burton wrote: +> I'm a little nervous about a solution like this, running a relatively +> unknown Windows executable. +> +> If I download them, is there a script that just installs the updates one +> by one?

I came along this link, but haven't tried it myself: http://glob.com.au/windowsupdate_cache/ This approach is using squid and forces it route specific requests through a local script that ignores the no-cache pragmas. However, you will need to tweak the URL-pattern from time to time, because different versions of Windows Update seem to change them.

RE: [Unattended] Windows updates
Hi Andrè, In the tools directory (install/tools) there is a bash-script called script-update. run it from linux or cygwin to update your scripts directory to the cvs versions. Read the script to understand it a little better, and be aware of the limitations. You might want add exceptions if you have scripts with the same names as unattended uses that you want to keep. After you used the script-update, run the check or prepare script to check which updates are missing, and to download them.

Re: [Unattended] Windows updates for ws2k3 cannot be run in DOS mode?
Could you be more specific? I just finished building a ws2k3 system using our provided ws2k-updates.bat file, and all of the updates applied fine. What update(s) are giving you problems, exactly?
