Anyone have any idea why the switches (/u /q /f) on the end of this would not work when using the RunAs command? It works fine if I open a prompt and manually type it in. The hotfix is getting launched with the RunAs fine...Just not picking up the switches.

code:
$updatefile = "KB823980\WindowsXP-KB823980-x86.exe /u /q /f"
Run '%comspec% /c Runas /user:DOMAIN\MSUpdate "$updatefile"'
Any help would be appreciated.

Most likely you'll need to do this
code:
$updatefile = '"KB823980\WindowsXP-KB823980-x86.exe" /u /q /f'
Run '%comspec% /c Runas /user:DOMAIN\MSUpdate '+$updatefile
However,the update file path looks incomplete to me, better use a complete pathname incl.drive/share.

This doesn't look like a valid path to me...

code:
$updatefile = "KB823980\WindowsXP-KB823980-x86.exe /u /q /f"

Original code does now work when I put in full path to the exe. For some reason with the short path it would still run the patch...But it wouldnt use the switches. Using full path resolved the problem.

Thanks for all the help as usual...
