Dear friends,
This is not kixtart (that is another story) but I think you `ll find useful of how to upgrade all your clients with the last patches from ms web update with no internet connection.
From a host with internet connection start downloading the patch(es) you want. You can see the file growing (!) at the following directory (xxxx is a number)
C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate\Cabs\xxxx\
The file is locked while downloading but it is free for copy only for two or three seconds while installing, so you must be quick and determined for not loosing your chance. The patch will get auto deleted after installation! Ok now you have the q2134287364.exe (or whatever ) at another directory free for scripting. With a similar technique your can extract this file also for improving dramatically the installation time.
Save the pathes under the directory
C:\Winnt\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts\Patch Repository\q1123n…
Use a ini file at client side in order clients know if there is any new stuff for them and you are done ! Tested successfully at w2k xp nt4 enviroment. Do not tell Microsoft !!
