version of XP SP3, & need to get all the patches done offline[*].
I found some optional patches missing after testing the WSUS Offline process, &
I'm trying to add them to the list so that they're done too. I have 2 questions:
(1) I followed the directions (somewhere) for finding the URLs of the patches,
doing the WGA test to do so, & then I added them to
\wsusoffline\static\StaticDownloadLinks-wxp-x86-enu.txt
- Code: Select all

But none of them were downloaded & no notation in the log files. I didn't find an obvious blacklist for them, but maybe I missed it.
What did I miss? Is there a way to do this?[*] Is "StaticDownloadLinks-" something that isn't rechecked, or are they in the wrong place?
(2) Windows update reports a couple of hardware patches. How do I find the download URLs for them? I'd like to add them to #1 also.
I have obtained them directly from the update site, but I want to make sure they're added properly and disappear from the windows
update list - any suggestions appreciated.
[*] I've read some other material in the forum about this. It happens that it's _very difficult_ to run windows update at the site,
and installing optional patches will be erratic. Better that all the computers be consistent.
