Hi,
Not a PowerShell guy so go easy on me here. I just found a script that I would like to use. This script scans for missing patches via MS’s MBSA, downloads them and then generates a batch file to install the missing ones. Issue I am having is the command that downloads the patches doesn’t download anything. The author of the script has closed what he wrote on his site from future comment. Any ideas?
$UpdateXML = “updates.xml”
$toFolder = “c:\temp\”
$installFile = $toFolder +”\_Install.bat”
#Initialize webclient for downloading files
$webclient = New-Object Net.Webclient
$webClient.UseDefaultCredentials = $true
# Get the content of the XML file
$Updates = [xml](Get-Content $UpdateXML)
“@Echo Off” | Out-File $installFile
“REM This will install all patches” | Out-File $installFile -Append
foreach ($Check in $Updates.XMLOut.Check)
{
Write-Host “Checking for”, $Check.Name
Write-Host $Check.Advice.ToString()
#Checking for files to download
foreach ($UpdateData in $Check.Detail.UpdateData)
{
if ($UpdateData.IsInstalled -eq $false)
{
Write-Host “Download the file for KB”, $UpdateData.KBID
Write-Host “Starting download “, $UpdateData.Title, “.”
$url = [URI]$UpdateData.References.DownloadURL
$fileName = $url.Segments[$url.Segments.Count – 1]
$toFile = $toFolder +”\”+ $fileName
#$webClient.DownloadFile($url, $toFile)
Write-Host “Done downloading”
“@ECHO Starting installing “+ $fileName | Out-File $installFile -Append
if ($fileName.EndsWith(“.msu”))
{
“wusa.exe “+ $fileName + ” /quiet /norestart /log:%SystemRoot%\Temp\KB”+$UpdateData.KBID+”.log” | Out-File $installFile -Append
}
elseif ($fileName.EndsWith(“.cab”))
{
“start /wait pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:”+ $fileName + ” /quiet /nostart /l:%SystemRoot%\Temp\KB”+$UpdateData.KBID+”.log” | Out-File $installFile -Append
}
else
{
$fileName + ” /passive /norestart /log %SystemRoot%\Temp\KB”+$UpdateData.KBID+”.log” | Out-File $installFile -Append
}
“@ECHO Installation returned %ERRORLEVEL%” | Out-File $installFile -Append
“@ECHO.” | Out-File $installFile -Append
Write-Host
}
}
Write-Host
