Re: Install Windows Patch via GPO

Thanks for the replies.
I changed the command to:
\\server-name\public\WindowsXP-KB958644-x86-ENU.exe /quite
What else do I need to add to the script?
I checked that Authenticated users have apply group policy.
I ran gpresult on the computer and it doesnt show my test GPO. Its been over
a day so it showed have applied by now. I verfied that that computer was in
that OU and it is. What am I missing?
I can also get to the folder from the computer directly.

Hello Asif,

Make sure the "Authenticated users" have "Apply group policy" checked on
the GPO security and that you are able to access the folder from a client.
Gpresult will show you on the client if it is applied

I want to deploy the KB958644 security patch to all my machines via
GPO. I
downloaded the .exe. I know I have to add a script to Computer
Configuration
- Windows Settings - Scripts (Startup). As a test I made a batch file
(called
patch.cmd) with the below contents:
\\server-name\public\WindowsXP-KB958644-x86-ENU.exe
...and I added this batch file to the scripts in the above GPO without
any
parameters.
I set the above GPO on the OU that has my test computer, and I have
restarted that computer many times so the GPO kicks in. I also did a
gpupdate
on both the server and the machine. But nothing is happening. What am
I doing
wrong?
Server - Server 2003 SP2
Computer - XP Pro SP3
