[Batch script for windows & software updates installation]

I won't swear to this, but putting

ECHO= == List of KB's installed == >KBLIST.TXT

right after the "SETLOCAL" and then placing

        ECHO= Installing KB!KB_NUM! >>KBLIST.TXT 

after the other one should do it.

Hi submix8c,

Thanks for the tip! it works!

For windows xp updates, you can probably get away with simply changing MSU to EXE and removing WUSA.

@ECHO OFF 
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION 
FOR /R "%~dp0" %%A IN (*-KB*.EXE) DO ( 
        CALL :SUB %%~nA 
        ECHO= Installing KB!KB_NUM! 
        >NUL PING -n 4 127.0.0.1 
        "%%A" /quiet /norestart) 
ECHO= == Press any key to restart == 
>NUL PAUSE 
SHUTDOWN.EXE /r /t 0 
GOTO :EOF 

:SUB 
SET "KB_NUM=%*" 
FOR /F "DELIMS=-" %%B IN ("%KB_NUM:*-KB=%") DO SET "KB_NUM=%%B"

Dear sir,

Is it possible to include a string to output the installed KB numbers into a text file within the directory? Pardon my newbie question as I am a newbie in scripting
