Hello

Do MS have a list of switches for their hotfixes on their site?

I have some problem installing multiple hotfixes completly unattended.

I run W2K and have tried this

@echo off

setlocal

set PATHTOFIXES=\\w2kserver\Share\update\hotfix\W2KSwe\

%PATHTOFIXES%\KB823353.EXE /q

%PATHTOFIXES%\KB839645.EXE /z /m

%PATHTOFIXES%\KB840315.EXE /z /m

%PATHTOFIXES%\KB841872.EXE /z /m

%PATHTOFIXES%\KB842526.EXE /z /m

%PATHTOFIXES%\KB867801.EXE /q

%PATHTOFIXES%\KB870669.EXE /q

%PATHTOFIXES%\qchain.exe

But during the installation of those I get two question that asks me if I want to restart the computer. And I DONT wont those questions. :-(

If I try for example to write KB867801.exe /? I get some switches.

/Q = Quit Mode. But it still asks me if I want to restart.

Try them both with /Q:A /R:N.

Here's some switch info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;810232

i think you sould try this ones: /Q /O /N /Z

Try this, it depends on what kind of hotfix it is:

@echo off
setlocal
set PATHTOFIXES=\\w2kserver\Share\update\hotfix\W2KSwe\
%PATHTOFIXES%\KB823353.EXE /Q:A /R:N 
%PATHTOFIXES%\KB839645.EXE /Q /O /N /Z
%PATHTOFIXES%\KB840315.EXE /Q /O /N /Z 
%PATHTOFIXES%\KB841872.EXE /Q /O /N /Z
%PATHTOFIXES%\KB842526.EXE /Q /O /N /Z
%PATHTOFIXES%\KB867801.EXE /Q:A /R:N
%PATHTOFIXES%\KB870669.EXE /Q:A /R:N
%PATHTOFIXES%\qchain.exe

Works for win2k as well.

Thanks alot for the answers.

You have saved my day :-)

Hey guys, just want to say thanks a bunch for this post.

It definately saved me a ton of searching for the command line switches for windows hotfixes to IE and ADODB, etc.

I hope to find more good stuff here....keep up the great posts!
