Update for Root Certificates for Windows XP [December 2012] (KB931125)

Security Update for Windows XP (KB2820917)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB2813170)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB2813347)
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP (KB2817183)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB2808735)
Update for Outlook 2003 Junk E-mail Filter (KB2810049)


Given the hype surrounding some of them, I would expect some
of them to be included. I don't have tools to search to WSUSSCN2.cab
effectively so I am not sure whether they are in it or not.

Apart from the junk filter one all updates are in my XP repositories and XP media.

Would you please re-run the download, you seem to have downloaded an outdated wsusscn2.cab (maybe not all servers have been in sync).

It reruns nightly.

The wsusscn2.cab I have in wsusoffline's file tree is dated 9 Apr ... should I delete it?
Would that force wsusoffline to download a new copy?

The wssuscn2.cab I just downloaded from MS manually, & the one in my
wsusoffline tree are identical.

Looking at this more closely, it looks like it wsusoffline is downloading these patches, but they are not making it to
the staging area (I set up mirrors for usb drives).

Thu 04/11/2013  3:43:36.23 - Error: Copying failed

I missed this before. There's no reason the copy should fail, both source & destination disks
are running and available, no errors are logged, there's plenty of space. copytotarget.cmd

Can copytotarget.cmd do a little more logging to let me know what its problem is?

"F:\Archive\WindowsManagement\WindowsInstaller\WSUSclients"\WXP

The second one of the double quotes is at the wrong place, could that be the reason? Also note the paths are a bit long, there's an odd 260 character limit in many parts of Windows. As the filenames are long, too, you may exceed it.

I don't think so; it's an expanded variable, & the script has
worked for many months (it also is working with some
other architectures expanded the same way).

Not at all clear why it decided it couldn't copy any more.

Manual copying worked.

If it fails again I'll have to take some time to instrument the copy script in WSUSOFFLINE
more.
