Error when patching Windows 2003 Server

[sjones925]

I get the following error when I try to run my SMS package update for SMS 2003. This is what shows in the execmgr.log:



Execution is complete for program Microsoft Update - Windows 2003 Server - Test Grp. The exit code is 0, the execution status is FailureNonRetry execmgr 6/21/2006 9:54:22 AM 2548 (0x09F4)


And from the patchinstall.log:

This was an advertisement that was sent with an install ASAP status. Any ideas?

 

[tbrennans]

this is because the date you made the patch expired before you pushed it...take out the ummmmmmmmmmmm..... /L switch?

I think the default is 90 minutes in the itmu wizard (I'm not near a console (vacation))

 

[tbrennans]

the /l switch I'm talking about basically does,

prevents the patch from running if it was not initiated by 90 minutes from the time the client saw the advertisement running

anyway like I said get rid of the l switch or change the creation date of the itmu package and you should be fine

He's right again, crikey. I'm away from the board for a day or so, and I come back and there's like 30 new posts and Tim's returned.
Been hardly any activity on here for the last fortnight.

Tim, get back in the sun.

Hope this Helps.
