gdkehl Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 With the older version, it was possible to install updates with AutoPatcher across a LAN. I haven't tried anything yet with the newer version, but, would the command remain the same? ie) OLD VERSION @echo off pushd %~dp0 autopatcher.exe /unattend:t2 /defaults:default.ini popd NEW VERSION @echo off pushd %~dp0 autopatcher.exe /unattend /answerfile:name.aaf popd or, would one just point to the directory and run: \\server\share\autopatcher.exe /unattend /answerfile:name.aaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adaman02 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I just run Autopatcher from a network drive myself and it works really well except when its running over a wireless network (Its just very slow on wireless). net use z: \\server\autopatcher z: z:\autopatcher.exe I guess in this situation that you would just add your command line switches at the end of the last line. and then later on to remove the drive: net use z: /delete :) Or just map the drive temporarily (Just for one session)(don't restore the connection if you login agian), but I don't know how to do this via the command prompt.....if any one knows this by the way it would be appreciated. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdkehl Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 @ adaman The answer is there, or read this. or, ... create a file in the autopatcher directory called APpush.cmd, (or whatever you want to name it) edit that file to read: @echo off pushd %~dp0 autopatcher.exe /unattend /answerfile:YourAnswerFileName.aaf popd Next, to run this over the network, in the run dialog box (start>run), type a command that points to the computer with a directory sharing AutoPatcher and the APpush.cmd file you just created. Something in this format: \\computerName\AutoPatcher\APpush.cmd (or whatever you named this cmd file that you created) Read about pushd command AutoPatcher is a great utility, thanks for all you guys do!!! *everybody holla* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
