HI Microsoft is releasing patches and updates nearly daily, sometimes they are Q articles with high number and at the same time Q articles with lower numbers and once in a while the worst... updates with just a name. So now to the question, how shall I add them in the script? By the Q article number ascending or release date? In the old days when I used the traditional Windows Update it sometimes appeared more updates at the same time you were rebooting to install the once you couldn't install at the same time? Any one has any ideas or smart theories? /Daniel

Even with a user who has a blank password, i have to press the ENTER key to close the messagebox. So I browsed through the mailing list archive and found an interesting post by Scott Card. It seems to be exactly what I'm trying to do, but the "mapdrive.pl" file that was attached to the message isn't available on the archive. So I was wondering if anyone could send me that file ? The message was entitled "RE: Questions - Username for app installs" and its date was "2003-03-10 13:04".
