how do i then check if the installation is successful on those machines?

Run the MS "check Blast patch" application that is referenced in the article noted above.

I doubt it - it's a compiled .exe file, not a .vbs that you could reverse-engineer and modify. Microsoft does have a general patch-check application available on their website, however.

SteveTheGeek,
do you have the link for general patch-check ?

the MBSA is not very helpful to me cos i need to scan 100 computers by hostname.
SteveTheGeek
MIS
Ah, yeah, that's a weakness of the MBSA. On the other hand, figuring out the IP-to-hostname mapping and scanning them individually beats heck outta going to each machine and trying to figure it out locally, in the absence of a better tool.

You can use code like this in your logonscript:
Check registry for spesific entries for the patch you are installing. If your running 2000/XP with different SP's the location are different.
Here's an example: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP2\KB823980\description
pseudo code:
If patch = true then
exit function
Run Patch
end function

I have written a VBS script that will install a specified hotfix on PCs that you specify. It requires that you have administrative privs on the remote machines. You must download and extract "psexec.exe" to your %system% dir for this to work.
The script performs the following functions:
* Check to make sure app "psexec.exe" is installed in %system%
* Prompts admin for Machine ID, subnet to scan, or user-specified list.
* Prompts for patch to run (ie. Q824146.exe)
* Prompts for command-line switches
* Prompts for confirmation
* Verifies machines are on the network before installing.
* Verify machine is a Windows XP Professional Workstation before installing hotfix
* Verifies hotfix exists in location specified
* Executes and displays status in IE window.
* Logs results.
You can run this and cancel at anytime before you initialize the hotfix installation. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi all,
Why dont use SUS 1.1 to install ALL new updates and Hfnetchk to validate that it works as planed.
It takes about 2 houres to setup and is a "by MS supported solution".
We have it running for over 1000-users and it workes fine.

Wibbe:
I would love to use Microsoft SUS 1.1 to deploy hotfixes to my office. Although my situation does not allow this in the regional office I work in. Our network is centrally "administered" (I use this term lightly) and HQ has done a poor job in the past maintaining the hotfixes and service packs on our machines.
Since I do not have privs to access the servers at our location, but I have local administrative privs I am forced to find alternative methods to deploying hotfixes.
You cannot imagine the level of frustration I have knowing I could easily perform these installations using other methods if I had the privs. So this works for me and I scan the machines using HFNetChkPro 4.0 to ensure the patches we applied successfully.
Enough of my sob story......

Hi j4ckl3,
I'm not very good in .VBS so my question might seem stupid. So I apologise right now.
I had to correct line 92 (there was a ; not needed)and line 95 (two twice "end if". I hope I didn't screw anything up.
I also had to modify "windows" by "WINNT" at line 90 and 467 to be able to use it in W2k.
When I enter a computer name in the first box of the script I always get "Erroe : station is unavailable"
What am I suppose to enter the computer name and how do I put more than one. Option 2 says that it's to enter by username.
Thanks
Philippe

You didn't do anything stupid. These are some of my mistakes. The problem is this script is very customized and I tried to quickly generalize it for this post.
The other problem is this is not written to run on W2K. It will check to make sure that the machine is a Windows XP workstation before applying any patch.
How far does the script get before you receive an error? What line does it error on? Does this look like something you would want to use?
If you want I will look at generalizing this a little further and send you the code instead of pasting such a large script to the post. Just let me know.
This script is slow in processing machines, but it's better than sneaker-net!!

I don't even get a vbscript error.
The Internet explorer page open and I get the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2003-09-30 16:25:58: Script script Started
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hotfix Number: q315000.exe
Hotfix Location: c:\patch2
Install on: poste01-cdgi
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error : poste01-cdgi is unavailable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2003-09-30 16:25:59: Script script Processing Complete
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
poste01-cdgi being the workstation I need to apply hotfix to. I tried using the IP adress with no success. I'm logged as a Domain admin
It shouldn't change anything but the OS of the computer to be updated is Windows XP pro french edition. Basically Windows is the same, it's only the interface that is different from one language to another.
Thanks for your help.
