Re: XPSP2 Push

Landesk is able to: push the package/unpack and add the reg entry to HKLM runonce. The actual pushing of the package seems not to be the issue rather the On Demand McAfee Scan when booting up......How were you able to stop/disable the McAfee Scan?

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.
