Is it possible to automte the installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 via Hyena? I need to install this SP on 100 computers. I understand how to schedule a job, but not sure how to setup the command line informaiton. Does anyone have a sample to share?

Re: Scheduling Hyena to install WinXP SP2
Are you running in a workgroup or domain environment? If running in a domain is it running in active directory? If you simply run a custom tool from Hyena like psexec to launch a batch file with the command line to install the service pack. You will end up loosing connectivity to those machines. As the firewall turns on automaticaly. If you are running AD, then you want to set modify the group policies accordingly. Like turning the firewall off in domain mode. There is some documentation you can find about this. -

It is a domain AD environment, but I am only an OU Admin. I have never heard of psexec, where can I find documentation on it.
Thanks.Comment

Re: Scheduling Hyena to install WinXP SP2
Psexec is a tool from systeminternals.com (now owned by M$). Being an OU admin, do you have a GPO linked to your OU and have rights? If not submit a ticket with your domain admins and ask them to disable the firewall in domain mode for your workstations. Then when you install the service pack you won't loose them.
Good Luck
