group policy and network share
Posted: 08.05.2018, 22:43
I know the intent of Wsusoffline is not to run from a network share, but it does it so much better than Wsus. I am trying to automate running wsusoffline on a domain, from a network share, as a group policy. I get tons of access denied errors. If I manually run the updateinstaller.exe everything runs perfectly. If I run cmd as administrator and paste the policy command it runs perfectly. I just can't make the dang thing run automatically.
What I want to accomplish is to have specific computers, as defined in active directory and group policys, run updates at specific times and dates. Regular Wsus cannot do this (or really sucks at doing this). During maintenance windows, I want to turn on the group policy, reboot the computers, let the policy run doupdates.cmd, reboot, run doupdates.cmd, reboot.....until I turn the group policy off. I finally managed to break the part where it creates the WOUTempAdmin by renaming the CreateUpdateAdminAndEnableAutoLogon.vbs so it can't run. The machines auto login to the network (they are all public access and not needed to be secured).
Has anyone tried or accomplished what I am trying to do? Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
