Internet Explorer Patches

[esherm22]

I push out Internet Explorer patches via SMS and I am wondering if there is a way to not have the "Restart Now, Y/N dialogue box appear or have it be canceled. I once heard something about using a installer wrapper and in a script have it click the cancel button itself.

The problem is this: If a person chooses to restart now and they do that before the application sends a success response to the SMS server, next time the user logs in it starts the update again. SMS apparently thinks it failed the previous time or never ran. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

See Microsoft KB article Q186412 . You can try to
paste the following line :

Another way to do this is to use the /Q switch after the internet explorer pacth. The /Q switch will run the the internet explorer patch in quite mode (no user input) and will automatically reboot the target pc.

Also, most microsoft's exe switches can be revealed as follows:
1. go to a command prompt
2. type in the exe followed by /?

Hope that helps.
