#100331 - 2003-04-16 02:15 PM Netlogon with Microsoft Hotfixes
Mandala Mandala Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-02-17 Posts: 36	Good Afternoon, (And sorry for my english) My Problem i've got 2500 computers localised on +/- 250 geographical domain sites. each oh these computers starts a NETLOGON proc. I would like to use my netlogon to distribute and execute (whith HFNETCHECK, MSBSA and QCHAIN) all the 2000 and XP hotfixes. I can't use big distribution software because our 250 domain server are not 2000 but Unix, the TCPIP speed between all sites are for the moment very slow and finally, Of Course, Most of the computer dont have an access to internet. Is there a place other than Microsoft Windows Update where all the hotfixes could be downloaded ? Does someone tried this Before ? Thanks for your help HFNETCHECK and the command-line version of MSBSA (Microsoft Base-line Security Analyzer). _________________________ P.Maquoi Cellule Antivirus du M.E.T. pmaquoi@met.wallonie.be

Microsoft Software Update Services FAQ Essentially, the way this works is that your location becomes http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and you distribute the hotfixes and updates to the clients.

And i don't want to replicate this on 250 domain server. The lonely way i think is using the netlogon proc. _________________________ P.Maquoi Cellule Antivirus du M.E.T. pmaquoi@met.wallonie.be

In that case you should look into AD features, DFS mirrors and IntelliMirror. IMHO, the logon script is not the best method to deploy. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

BoxKite BoxKite Da Box Registered: 2000-05-17 Posts: 282 Loc: Vacaville,CA,USA	I had a similar concern. Here is my approach. Every day I add a few letters to the "if" statement. By weeks end, the hotfix was loaded. I used "@userid", but you can use just about anything. code: if INSTRREV("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",ucase(SUBSTR("@userid",INSTR("@userid", ".") + 1,1))) > 0 if to check to see if HotFix is not installed ;you need this because you don't want the hotfix ;to install every time the user logs on HotFix endif endif LUCK [ 18.

Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	Boxkit is limiting the number of hotfixes by using a letter of the username to determine whether the download should be done. For example, set the string to "ABC", and only activate the hotfix for users whose login starts with the letters "A", "B" or "C". The next day, set the string to "ABCDEF" - now the users whose name starts "D","E" or "F" will get the hotfix, as will any of the "A","B","C" user who didn't log in the previous day. Continue adding letters each day until you have A-Z. A better solution may be to increment a counter in an ini file when you start the hotfix. Key the counter on the gateway of the machine. When the counter reaches a limit, no more machines on that subnet will do the hotfix. When the hotfix completes, decrement the counter. This way you can limit the number of hotfixes per site, and you can set the limit on a site-by-site basis. Fundamantally though, you should be placing a copy locally to each site and doing the update from a local copy. Or was that your original question?
