Update list

[smsn]

Wsus is a nice helpful software.
1.can wsus export the update list to txt files?cause my network is slow
and i wanna to use download-software like flashget to down them.
2.can wsus copy the updates to directory offline

wsusou has been written for creating an offline repository of updates. Therefore you need to download all possible updates (using UpdateGenerator; completely dynamic) and then use UpdateInstaller to install all the updates your computer(s) need and have been downloaded before. The program will automatically determine all missing updates and install them on your computer. If you want to manually create a list of missig updates, copy or download the file wsusscn2.cab (.\client\wsus) to the temporary directonary (%temp%) and run the script .\client\cmd\ListMissingUpdateIds.vbs with administrative rights. Then you will find a text document called MissigUpdateIds.txt in your temp-folder. It contains all the missing updates your computer needs.

But remember wsusou will not (might do so, but I don't guaranteer) accept patches you copied into its directorary.

hi aker or others,

I get the file MissingUpdateIds.txt, but it seems no any url avaliable at all, something like:

...
960803,c4640a2a-b0e1-4f85-befa-300ab95699eb
959426,0f9c03f7-d1e1-4d8f-9b66-8b1c7d30421f
...

My questions are:
1. Can the program export a txt file containing a whole url?
2. Run ListMissingUpdateIds.vbs+wsusscn2.cab in the temporary directonary (%temp%), we obatain MissigUpdateIds.txt. Does the the txt file depend on the current patched situation of running system with MS office? Namely, diffrent one may occur diffrent MissigUpdateIds.txt list?

A nice software indeed!

This are just the required updates for that computer.
If you need the download links, please download the program from Trac and use the scripts in the main dir of the trunk.

Thank you aker,

I search the forum, only find a website http://trac.wsusoffline.net/browser/trunk, But I fail to understand the right way.

CompileAutoItScripts.cmd
ExtractDownloadLinks-all.cmd
ExtractSupersededUpdates.cmd
ExtractUpdateIdsAndDownloadLinks-ofc.cmd
MakeRelease.cmd
PrepareReleaseTree.cmd

Which scripts in the main dir of the trunk? I have no experience at all. Please tell me more about downloading the program via trunk site? Some old posts would also be ok.


Thanks again

Short Explaination:

CompileAutoItScripts.cmd - Compiles UpdateGenerator and UpdateInstaller from source (I recomment to do this after every update from trac)
ExtractDownloadLinks-all.cmd - Extracts all downloadlinks for all systems [and office products - not sure]
ExtractSupersededUpdates.cmd - creates the list of superseded updates
ExtractUpdateIdsAndDownloadLinks-ofc.cmd - extracts all office updates
MakeRelease.cmd - uninteresting for you
PrepareReleaseTree.cmd - uninteresting for you

All files will be saved to %temp%

Then, using ExtractUpdateIdsAndDownloadLinks-ofc.cmd, I extract all office updates to a file called UpdateCabExeIdsAndLocations.txt Which contains almost ~27716 rows. It's impossible for me to pick out what I wanted.

I guess no any other efficient methold to extract link like:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... 86-ENU.exe
or
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdow ... le-ENU.exe
