Auto WindowUpdate from LAN

[arjanv]

Hi,

I have a working install also with windowsupdate.

I followed this http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/installhotfixes.htm

** Example **

[Version]

Signature="$Windows NT$"

MajorVersion=5

MinorVersion=1

BuildNumber=2600

[setupData]

CatalogSubDir="\i386\Update"

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

[setupHotfixesToRun]

\\server\D\install\Updates\KB329441.exe /Q /O /N /Z

\\server\D\install\Updates\KB810217.exe /Q /O /N /Z

** End **

I made a ghost of the preinstall, and the ghost we install on our computers.

Is it possible to start svcpack.inf from a netword location, so it become easy to edit and add updates to svcpack.inf.

i've done this the same with preinstalling the applications

I've put this in winnt.sif

[GuiRunOnce]

\\server\D\install\install\start.cmd

So when i decided to add a application I only have to edit start.cmd and copy the new application to the server.

I want to do this also with the windowsupdates, can someone help me.

Thanks

the best option would be Install Windows 2003 or 2000 Server in an Network Env and run Microsoft Software Update SUS (1.0) SP1. Then Configure client to get the updates from the SUS Server.
