I have a mixed group of users on both 2K and XP, I want
to be able to install the Blaster patch without user
intervention. I have the executables in a hidden share I
just need to know what command can I run to start the
push. I am thinking something like rsh \\<workstation >
\\<server>\Blaster$\KB81...Win2000/XP.exe /u /z /q . But
I don't have the remote shell service installeed on the
workstations, so is there an RPC call for this?

TIA,
Kevin Queen
 
Kevin:

I do it the NT Login Script and use KixTart (kix32.exe) as the Login Script Interpreter.

The following is a snippet of the Domain based Login Script.


if (readvalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion","CurrentVersion")="5.0")=1
$OS="WINNT5"
endif
if (readvalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion","CurrentVersion")="5.1")=1
$OS="WINNT51"
endif

; Win2K HotFix - KB824146 - RPCCSS Buffer Overflow
;-------------------------------------------
if exist ("%windir%\KB824146.txt")=0 and ($OS="WINNT5")=1
shell "N:\OS\WinNT2K\Windows2000-KB824146-x86-ENU.exe -z -q"
shell '%comspec% /c ipconfig >"%windir%\KB824146.txt"'
endif

; WinXP HotFix - KB824146 - RPCCSS Buffer Overflow

if exist ("%windir%\KB824146.txt")=0 and ($OS="WINNT51")=1

shell '%comspec% /c ipconfig >"%windir%\KB824146.txt"'
