kurbycar32 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 hey i downloaded this great tool for updating a win2k box that is basicly a script that runs qchain and all of the updates in silent mode. i have been able to add things to it as updates come out but im not good enough to write somthing like this from scratch. does anyone know of a utility like this for windows XP?

prathapml Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 does anyone know of a utility like this for windows XP?You need XPCREATE (the tool).Do take a look around MSFN forums to find its section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod316 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 prathapml is wrong. xpcreate, like the name says, creates 2k/3/xp cds. it doesnt autoupdate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 try this? http://autopatcher.com ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 prathapml is wrong. xpcreate, like the name says, creates 2k/3/xp cds. it doesnt autoupdate.huh?going by that definition, even autopatcher does not *AUTO*-update. You need to do *SOME* extent of work on your own, atleast (like getting a new version of the app, or getting updated lists of patches).XPCREATE has a list of new patches. So just re-CREATE your CD every month with it - you'll be fine. Of course, if you find a better program, please post about it here - we'll be happy to know about it.

kurbycar32 Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 xp create is great for a new install, but i am in need of a updater that does not re-install. my network has about 6000 computers on it and for the most part SUS takes care of things but occasionaly i do need to run updates manually. with my 2k updater i just pop in the cd and it goes thru its qchain script and updates everything without a re-install. this is what i hope to get for XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
