Re: Install Patch at shutdown

You also can use Microsoft Winternals PsShutdown
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/psshutdown.mspx)
to shutdown machines. To do this on multiple machines you can use
Microsoft Winternals PsExec from PsTools
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/pstools.mspx).
If your shutdown script doesn't work try running gpresult, check GPO
configured to run script and the check scripts replication. Script
extensions for shutdown as you know are configured within Computer
Configuration|Windows Settings|Scripts. If nothing happens maybe you
have problems with ports for LDAP and SMB. When working with WSUS you
should choose 'Install Updates and Shut Down' option within Computer
Configuration|Administrative Templates|Windows Components|Windows
Update. But I still would recommend trying Desktop Authority's
features. It natively communicates directly with Windows Update
Services and provides mentioned features to check inactivity and patch
management feature that is used especially for patching computers
within the forest.

The same Desktop Authority's (http://www.scriptlogic.com/da) inactivity
feature. It automatically shuts down machines you've defined when
inactivity is detected. You also can assign the task to setup some
programs when shutdown even will happen on client computer. Thus you
can create a list which software you want to install for your students
and it will be automatically installed on their machines when they'll
leave the class-room. You can mix individual and global setups. For
example you can assign all students to have Microsoft Office set up on
their machines. Those that are studuing physics can be assigned with
Mathematica or FEMLAB. Moreover, you can add per-user settings and push
some tracking software to course leader's machine alone.

Thx for answer but which tools do you use for shutdown ? My problem is for
the shutdown process, not the scripting.

It's better to use Group Policy for such tasks. Then you can put script
to be executed at shutdown. And still you will have the problem with
checking for inactivity to shutdown machines when student will leave
their desktops automatically. The last task can be performed with
desktop management tool. We use Scriptlogic's Desktop Authority
(http://www.scriptlogic.com/da). It has above mentioned inactivity
checking functionality that allows to set a schedule and shutdown
computers by end of the day when users leave their desktops. That's
what we usually do Friday evenings.

Hi all,

I've got many computer in my center and I'm using WSUS to deliver patch. As
my student, never shutdown the computer when they leave, I've created a
little batch that run on a server to remotly shut down computer.

My problem, that I've just seen, is that when I run this batch (in fact it's
many down.exe \\computername command) the patch are never installed during
the shutdown process.

So my question : is there a new down.exe (I'm running ver 2.1) or is there
another way I can use to remotely shutdown my computer and having patch
installed ?

Thx
Cyril
