My goal is to update files in the %windir%\system32 folder on client machines if the fileversion is lower than what's listed below

this is what I have....Will it work (effeciently?)


$wuclientver =GetFileVersion("%windir%\system32\wuaueng.dll")
If $wuclientver < "5.8.0.2469"
Shell "net stop wuauserv"
Copy "\\troy\c$\%sindir%\system32\wu*.*" "c:\winnt\system32"
Shell "net start wuauserv"
EndIf

Thanks for your help

Euhm... Did you tried it?
And? did it work?

What about the dll maybe you have to re-register it...

Sorry Savvy, Maybe not a very nice answer but do you understand what I mean. At first test your scripts by yourself before you post it here... Right know I'm thinking that Savvy95 is a lazy b*st*rd

Good luck!

It works, I guess my question is: is this the most efficient way. but maybe efficiency doesn't matter.

PS. I saw I fat-fingered the directory. It should read
Copy "\\troy\c$\%Windir%\system32\wu*.*" "c:\winnt\system32"

If it works, it works. This would be slightly more efficient, code-wise...

Code:

If GetFileVersion("%windir%\system32\wuaueng.dll") < "5.8.0.2469" 
   Shell "net stop wuauserv"
   Copy "\\troy\c$\%Windir%\system32\wu*.*" "c:\winnt\system32"
   Shell "net start wuauserv"
EndIf


But you may want to use SC or XNET to query wether the service is actually stopped before trying to copy the new file. I would probably use SC and WshPipe() to get the results of the command.

hmm...
actually, none of these codes actually work.
Copy "\\troy\c$\%Windir%\system32\wu*.*" "c:\winnt\system32"

translates to something like:
Copy "\\troy\c$\c:\winnt\system32\wu*.*" "c:\winnt\system32"


and we all know that's not good.

Huh, you mean Copy "\\troy\c$\winnt\system32\wu*.*" "c:\winnt\system32"

{edit}

Sorry Lonk, Didn't read your post very well, I know what you mean after reading it the next time...

Since %windir% is resolved only to the local enviro var (i.e. C:\Windows) I see no point in using the C$ share to get access to a local drive.

les, it seems he is using a copy from other system to local windir.

and he actually used %sindir% in the first post, maybe that's something else?

and when he said it works, he just lied, plain and simple.
dunno why though...
anyway, his code never worked.

The most efficient way would be to use an admin script and update the remote computers centrally. SYSTEM32 writes require local admin privs.
