hi,

i want to use a batch file to install the latest MS patch
fast used in a logon script to run the patch as domain
admin. (i dont have sms server& bandiwdth to download the
pacth using WU is not there, too many machines)

how do i specify the password of the domain admin or any
admin user in the script so that the users dont have to
input it and its typed only one within the script. i know
its not good from a security point of view but for now i
want to have this patch installed.

the users can click through the rest of the setup once
install rights are given to the patch exe.

pls help.
