Hey Guys,

So I posted awhile back to get some info about hosting WSUS Offline Updater on a network share. Read the forums and with some helpful feedback I actually have it working beautifully.

The only thing I wanted to see if I can't fix is when WSUSOffline loads into a temp user. I get prompted to enter credentials for the network drive that was used to originally start WSUS Offline on the admin user. I dug through the command line files pretty thoroughly and couldn't find where I could provide the credentials.

The user we use for the network drive is a service account that only has access to that one folder, so I'm not worried about security or the password being in clear text via the notepad file. I'd like to just enter the credentials in the script so it doesn't prompt me and stop the automation process.

Also, I'd rather not use anonymous access. It's not reliable for a number of reasons in my experience. So in a perfect world I'd like to see if the above solution is possible.

Thanks!
Logan

Hey there !

I was in the same situation , and i find a way out a this problem :

take a look at this page , you must disable the UNC chechk made by the cmd.exe.

in each computer you must add this DWORD entry in the regedit :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\Command Processor

REG_DWORD : DisableUNCCheck ( hex 1 )

Hope that wiil help you !
