Is it possible to check all machines on the network for missing patch and install
the missing ones remotely? I am hoping to find a script I can run from my station
that touches all machine on the domain. If any one know of a starter script please
share. In desperate need of a kix....start.

Have you searched the board? There have been quite a few lengthy threads on this and similiar subjects. There are issues particular to different operating systems that need to be considered. You should look into using SMS or SUS as well.

There are also a couple of other ways to do this..

(1) Hfnetchk - from http://shavlik.com > not scriptable, but pushable.
(2) Daisy - includes hfnetchk, qcheck, etc. http://vtwug.w2k.vt.edu/daisy.html (you have to be logged in as a member of the local Administrators - a
possible limitation)

Are there any command line options for Daisy?

"-r" will tell Daisy to force (and I mean force) a reboot of the local system if new hotfixes were installed
"-s" will make Daisy silent, no interactivity.
"-l" will make Daisy make a copy of the output.txt to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.log
"-h" will make Daisy hide the running application window in the taskbar
"-m" will tell Daisy to not care whether the Messenger service is running or not
"-a" will not check to see if the local user running daisy is an administrator or not !DANGEROUS!
"-o" will tell Daisy to download the XML datafile from the local FTP server as mssecure.zip (otherwise it will get it from shavlik's site via http)
"-i" will tell Daisy to ignore the timestamp on the XML datafile and always download a new copy (otherwise it will try to be smart and not download more than once in a day)
"-?" will tell Daisy to parrot back valid command line options then quit
"/?" same as -?

(3) There are a number of scripts here too. If memory serves, there are at least one or two in the UDF Section.

HTH,

Kent
