take this patch wednesday!

Recently in one of my more deflating patch wednesday evenings (aka the lonliest it night of the month). i realised that a script i had received a while back could be implemented to do all this for me…

I have 30+ servers in the dublin office alone, and all need to be patched once a month (thank you Mr Gates). Now if you work that out thats the equivalent of 7 minutes (download, install and reboot) per server * 30 servers = a very bored Andrew.

Step in psexec! using a remote script i now can patch all servers over vpn, without logging into a session or even paying much attention!

Wsus, the bitch that it is…

For those of you with Wsus, you know my pain and for those of you with SMS, f*&K off.

Ever notice how some pc’s just constantly seem to think they have just updated? when in essence they havent reported status in four months???
