network install

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

using this method:

\\server\share\autopatcher.exe /unattend /answerfile:name.aaf

not all updates are detected

if I run this:

\\server\share\autopatcher.exe /answerfile:name.aaf

same location but w/o unattend switch all updates are detected.

any ideas?

NEED TEMP DRIVE!!!!!

[Guest adaman02]

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.

:)

@ 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)

AutoPatcher is a great utility, thanks for all you guys do!!! *everybody holla*
