Hello Asif,
Sorry, my mistake. It's as stated by name user logging, not computer.

Seems like it found my other three GPO but all three are user configs.
I dosent show "Found..." for this computer config. GPO. Even gpresult
shows that GPO. Is this logfile only for user GPOs?

Meinolf,
Any ideas???
I changed my setup to match yours. Only thing that is different is
the
name
of my script - I go in to the OU, edit the GPO, Startup scripts
and
called
the script name "Patch". I click "Show Files" and there I see
conflicker.bat
(which contains the statements you mention in your last post), the
KB
exe,
and the empty KB txt file.
I did gpresult on the PCs and the GPO is showing up now. Not sure
why
but it
took a week on this particular PC. I moved another PC to the OU
and
it
showed
up during next reboot.
However, the patch is not installing on any computer. I rebooted
couple of
times and did gpupdate both on the server and computers. Let me
know
what you
think. Thanks.

Meinolf,
I think I see what might be the problem.
When I go to my OU and open the GPO, I then go to Computer
Configuration -
Windows Settings - Startup, double click on it and I see the path
to
the .cmd
file that has the command that runs the .exe:
Path to cmd file: \\servername\NETLOGON\patch.cmd
Command in cmd file:
\\servername\public\z_WindowsXP-KB958644-x86-ENU.exe
/quite
I think I have to put either the .exe in the path that comes up
when
you hit Browse when you want to add a new script (which is what
you
have) or put the cmd file there. The path that comes up when you
hit
Browse is:
\\domain.com\SysVol\domain.com\Policies\{3F30361D-1A8A-4B3F-xxxx-
xx
xx
xxxx}\Machine\Scripts\Startup\
Is this correct? What should I put there, the exe or the cmd?

Hello Asif,
I am running out of ideas, i will describe the way i did it in
my domains, a bit different, but also your way should work if
the configuration is as you described it. Here is my way:
I use a startup script, including this in a GPO:
----------------------------------------------------------------
-- -- -------------------------------------------------
;install KB958644(Conficker worm) in silent mode and creates
logfile to prevent
loop on install
if not exist %systemroot%\W2KKB958644.log
\\domain.com\SysVol\domain.com\Policies\{3F30361D-1A8A-4B3F-xxxx
-x xx xxxxx}\Machine\Scripts\Startup\W2KKB958644.exe /quiet
if not exist %systemroot%\W2KKB958644.log copy
\\domain.com\SysVol\domain.com\Policies\{3F30361D-1A8A-4B3F-xxxx
-x xx xxxxx}\Machine\Scripts\Startup\W2KKB958644.txt
%systemroot%\W2KKB958644.log /y
----------------------------------------------------------------
-- -- -------------------------------------------------
The .txt file is empty, just a placeholder on the disk for
skipping the patch at next reboot.
So if you use "Show files" in the startup properties of the GPO
under computer
configuration, there are 3 files located:
- conficker.bat
- patchfile W2KKB958644.exe (file name is shortend)
- empty W2KKB958644.txt file

Meinolf,
I rechecked the path and it has no spaces:
\\server-name\public\WindowsXP-KB958644-x86-ENU.exe /quite
"Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS]" wrote:
Hello Asif,
The ip configuration looks ok.
Just to make sure, in your batch file are no spaces in
between?
It
looks
really like this:
\\server-name\public\WindowsXP-KB958644-x86-ENU.exe /quite
and not similar like:
\\server name\public\WindowsXP KB958644 x86 ENU.exe /quite

Hello Asif,
If gpresult does not list the policy, there can be the case,
either the GPO is not linked to the OU where the comupters
are located(you said that's the case), DNS is a problem,
please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the DNS server
and the client machine.

Yes. Authenticated Users have read and apply group policy
permissions.
"Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS]" wrote:
Hello Asif,
And authenticated users have at least read on the "public"
folder?

Yes I can. Start, Run, and type in the patch and it comes
up fine.

Hello Asif,
Can you map the folder when typing \\server-name\public
in the run line? If not what error pops up?

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
