snapin and batch script
-
@Tom-Elliott as i said before the command i will use will not need user input :
I will use a command line with arguments like that :
"call W:\cmd\DoUpdate.cmd /verify /updatecpp /updatetsc /instdotnet4 /autoreboot"once share mounted in w:
I would like to update my computer once image deployed, for that i use “WsusOffline”
WsusOffline is located on a samba share, then i have to mount the samba share, in “w:” for example, and then launch this command :W:\cmd\DoUpdate.cmd /verify /updatecpp /updatetsc /instdotnet4 /autoreboot"from the samba share
-
Based on a couple minutes of research, I don’t think you can run UpdateInstaller.exe silently. So this is likely just not going to work.

UpdateInstaller.exe
is only for testing, the command i want to launch is :
"call W:\cmd\DoUpdate.cmd /verify /updatecpp /updatetsc /instdotnet4 /autoreboot"from the samba share
-
@plegrand Does the “DoUpdate.cmd” script call UpdateInstaller.exe?
-
@Tom-Elliott no
It works alone without waiting something from the user -
@plegrand So have you tried with using the DoUpdate.cmd instead of trying with UpdateInstaller.exe?
-
@Tom-Elliott @Avaryan
It works !!! with psexec
for the moment from command line, then i need to package my script and psexec ?here is the command :
psexec \\%computername% -u %computername%\Administrateur -p password -e cmd /c "net use y: \\samba\wsus$ "my'password" /User:samba\Administrateur & y:\wsusoffline\client\UpdateInstaller.exe"UpdateInstaller.exe open a windows and wait for user input.
For the moment i dont if it will works with snapin -
@plegrand yes
but for the moment nothing happen
I’m trying snapin pack
with this command :psexec \\%computername% -u %computername%\Administrateur -p password -e cmd /c "net use y: \\samba\wsus$ "my'password" /User:samba\Administrateur & y:\wsusoffline\client\cmd\DoUpdate.cmd /verify /updatecpp /updatetsc /instdotnet4 /autoreboot"i made a zip with my batch script (test.bat) and psexec

@plegrand You know, most people just keep their images updated so they don’t have to worry about this so much. I know some of the community do quarterly images while others do annual images.
You’d probably have better luck just opening an Amazon Web Services account and installing Systems Manager into your image so you can control patching through AWS. This tool is specifically built for this, among a few other things.
Or, just a WSUS server and some group policy to control how updates work.

I cant make it works for the moment with snapinpack, I’ve got an error that i don’t understand :17/05/2017 08:42 Client-Info Client Version: 0.11.11 17/05/2017 08:42 Client-Info Client OS: Windows 17/05/2017 08:42 Client-Info Server Version: 1.3.5 17/05/2017 08:42 Middleware::Response Success 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient Snapin Found: 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient ID: 103 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient Name: Update Windows 7 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient Created: 2017-05-17 08:41:24 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient Action: 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient Pack: True 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient Hide: False 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient Server: 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient TimeOut: 0 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient SnapinPack File: cmd.exe 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient SnapinPack Args: /c "[FOG_SNAPIN_PATH]\test.bat" >> %tmp%\test.log 2>&1 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient File: test.zip 17/05/2017 08:42 Middleware::Communication Download: http://192.168.39.243/fog/service/snapins.file.php?mac=D0:67:E5:0C:6A:1A||00:00:00:00:00:00:00:E0|00:00:00:00:00:00:00:E0&taskid=103 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient C:\Program Files\FOG\tmp\test.zip 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient Processing SnapinPack test.zip 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient Extracting SnapinPack 17/05/2017 08:42 SnapinClient ERROR: Compressed size mismatch between central header(161385) and local header(0) 17/05/2017 08:42 Middleware::Communication URL: http://192.168.39.243/fog/service/snapins.checkin.php?taskid=103&exitcode=-1&mac=D0:67:E5:0C:6A:1A||00:00:00:00:00:00:00:E0|00:00:00:00:00:00:00:E0&newService&jsonAn idea ?

@plegrand
It seams that i have to create the zip file on windows , on linux i have this error.
After that the snapin pack is launched but i think it’s waiting interaction with user and even i use psexec the script is launch by system. Then it doesn’t works.
I have to find an other solution -
Psexec needs the EULA to be accepted on first use (I’m guessing per user basis even)
So add -accepteula maybe.
edit: But given you only to execute commands on the local system as a different user, runas is likely the easier/better tool for the job.
edit2: Just remembered you can’t pipe passwords to it, nvm

@Quazz
I think the problem is that snapin is launched as SYSTEM user, then even i use psexec or runas to run command as local user, snapin is launched as SYSTEM and then it does not works. I try with -accepteula but … -
@Avaryan @Tom-Elliott @Quazz @Wayne-Workman
May be someone know a solution to launch remote command on mulitple computers without GPO’s ? -
@plegrand PDQ Deploy?? https://www.pdq.com/pdq-deploy/
We use this tool instead of FOG Snapins to deploy applications in our offices. They have a free version that should do what you need, but the paid for version is reasonable in cost and well worth the price because of the additional functionality.
-
So, the overall objective here, is it just to get Windows updated? Does it have it be offline using wsusoffline?
There are PowerShell modules for Windows Update that may be able to trigger updates.

This is not a problem, this is by design. Not only is it by design in the FOG Client, it is by design from Microsoft. This is how deployments are made safe, anything less is a breach of security.

@Wayne-Workman I understand that

@Wayne-Workman Not sure i want to use Amazon service
