Download from microsoft website which folder put them in

[lookoutnoob]

I guess with 'detect' you mean install all the updates with wsusou? I hope this is possible to compare those installed updates with the list. Else I should script something that it will download all those kb-numbers from the catalog, right?
Thanks again.

Edit: This is what I did: I filtered all KB-numbers out of ALL the files which I downloaded through wsusoffline (windows xp Windows2003 Windows Vista and Windows 7). I compared them with the list and I got like 80-90% of all the updates, but im still missing some :/ Like:
KB3023220
KB3023221
KB3020369
KB915597
KB3020369
KB3032662
KB3035488

How come I dont have those files in my wsusoffline folder?

Edit2: I just ran wsusou again for the OS windows 7, but even in the log file it didnt find the KB-files, how is this possible?

Edit3: I just wrote a program which will read all the files out of a excel files and search the kb numbers and compare them with my other excel file. 1 more question:
In this map for example: w60/glb there are like 100-200 files called:
windows6.0-kb2124261-x64_64488f7447bea7877dbb000944ef893f3fa5b0e9.cab
windows6.0-kb2158563-x64_8f6b18a8342e9cb9f8e3eb36a9128670fc99bc14.cab
windows6.0-kb2281679-x64_ea86b716053cd4a3123f782366e76ad1de69dd0d.cab
windows6.0-kb2296011-x64_640a1aa9d446327c4b11a390b2158ea75cbcfbb7.cab
windows6.0-kb2305420-x64_5085ff5a64107d3ba66c4b60d8296160a372b875.cab
windows6.0-kb2347290-x64_72774dbc202eb9925d71cb175b439a545fa6d65a.cab
But I have to download all these updates first before seeing the names... Is there any easy way to see the names of the updates and move them to excel before downloading them all? I want it to be as easy as possible.

Missing updates: maybe related to viewtopic.php?f=7&t=172
I saw, one of the missing updates is a .NET patch, do you include .NET and C++, the might have different file names.
Not logged updates: some updates may not apply to your computer or just aren't listed in wsusscn2.cab. (can't check this at the moment)

Excel parser: I currently don't know a program, which compares an xls against another one.

I had the idea to use wsusou's engine to detect the missing updates, then compare it against the whitelist and exclude all updates wsusou dynamically determines, which aren't whitelisted. (You would have to check the static ones on your own, but they don't change that often.) After writing this "ExcludeList" (non-whitelisted patches determined by wsusou), the script may run it's normal routine without installing any non-whitelisted update. That would be possible without any script modification, so it persists an update of wsusou itself.

My suggestion would be: you create a list of the whitelisted updates (format: KB123456) for each OS (important) and I'll write a custom InitializationHook for wsusou, which will do the auto-exclude mechanism. Would that be a solution for you?

Perfect! I will update this command soon, im working on a automatic program where it takes all the updates out of the excel lists and compares and looks which one are missing. and btw I did select c++ updates etc in the wsusou. Thanks for helping!

The whitelists have to be text files containing the KB-numbers with an empty line (CR LF) at the end.

Hey, I am almost done with my program: It takes two excel files, makes them use the same names for kb-number: ex: windowsxp-kb123456. And then its is gonna compare those lines and see what updates im missing/have left.

BUT now im making a list of all the updates out of wsusoffline AFTER DOWNLOADING ALL THE UPDATES and copying the names of the updates this way: "dir /b > filenames.txt" in cmd. BUT is there anyway i can get all the names of the windows updates BEFORE I download them through wsusou??
(It dont have to be an excel file, as long as I can see the names somewhere before I download it)

If this is possible it would be much easier and less work each time checking all the files

[aker]

It's possible, if you use a trunk-build:
http://trac.wsusoffline.net/changeset/6 ... format=zip

http://trac.wsusoffline.net/browser/tru ... ks-all.cmd

Thanks you very much Aker!

Double Click "ExtractDownloadLinks-all" -> wait > and look in trunk.client.static??? Or am I doing something wrong? Because in those .txt files are not ALL the Windows Updates of the OS/Office/IE/DOTNET?

I think it isnt clear what I want: I want all the KB-numbers of all the Windows Updates: http://imgur.com/WJjBJWm <- those numbers

But files-names of the imgur-picture are availible AFTER I downloaded windowsxp through wsusou. I want to get them BEFORE downloading all the updates

[aker]

The script will create a file "DownloadLinks-all.txt" in your temporary folder, which contains all download links inside wsusscn2.cab.
If you want it to generate the product-specific lists (withou checki g for superseded updates), you'll have to edit the script to use .\xslt\ExtractDownloadLinks-<platform>-<arch>-<lang>.xsl instad of ExtractUpdateFileIdsAndLocations.xsl.

Thank you so much, this wss EXACTLY what I needed!!! I am back coding now, I will ask more questions if im done coding this all SuperDuperMuchTanks!

[lookoutnoob]

I have been searching quite a while now, but I cant find how to edit the script, I can only open it in cmd. I tried SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK but can only just open it?? Can you help me with this?
