Re: XPSP2 Push



From: "Nicholas Edivan" <NEDIVAN@xxxxxxxxxxx>

| Using Landesk to push XPSP2 via the HKLM runonce. When the user boots down/up and logs in

Going over the LAN ?

It's a 256MB file. Are you running it across the LAN or copying it local ? Are many nodes
doing the same thing at the same time ?

I found it easier to put Service Packs on a CDROM with a Kixtart Script that installs the
patches automatically and not put a burdeon on the LAN.

Yes, if you have many coomputers it takes time. However, all you need is a multiple CDs and
a team. since it it scripted, there is nor user intervention and the end, the PC is
auto-rebooted. Put the CDROM in, run the scrript, go to next PC. At the end, go to the
reboted PCs and remove the CD.

BTW: Part of the script copies the SP2 installer from the CD to the hard disk, stops the
McAfee VirusScan NT Services and then runs the SP2 installer.
