I think it's a good question. How can i use the internal commands with admin rights when the script starts with user rights? I often use this when installing software ...

Hi! With your saveini() function you have to switch the gui to show destination names before saving because you read the gui contend. When you use the vars of the $actief array the ini file always gets the right names. If IniWrite($iniloc, "ping destinations", $i, $actief[$i]) = 0 Then CU Wolfgang

Thank you very much ...

Hi! After installing AutoIt 3.2.0.1 and actual SciTE the FuncPopUp (Shift+F1) cant't open any helpfile. Window "AutoIt3 - Funtion help" shows "Site not found...". When i klick on a function name in SciTE Editor (FuncPopUp still open) the normal help window "AutoIt Help" opens with the choosen function. What can i do to fix that? Thanks Wolfgang

I'm still using it. Here are the lists for Win XP SP2, Win 2003 SP1 and Win 2000 SP4. Patchlists.zip

Hi! Who often works with different VNC connections looks for a possibility to fast connect by a single klick. First solution seens to be a batch file. With this script you can start the Vncviewer.exe with parameters - inclusive password. If a secure connection is wished (Ultr@VNC DSM-Plugin) the rc4.key file must be included, in addition. Unfortunately, the password stands in plain English in the text file and also the rc4.key file (DSM-Plugin) lies unprotected on the PC. If more than one person is using the PC it's a security risk. If you store the connecting data on USB-Stick you have to watch out not to forget it or let unobserved. The files are copied in seconds. As necessary action you have to change all passwords on the target PCs and must generate new rc4.key files. To defuse this situation i wrote VNC Key Protector. When the program starts you must insert a Masterpassword. This password is used to en-/decrypt all files and data. Encryption is a difficult theme so i let do Dlock2 by Michael Paul Johnson make the work. A commandline tool. In the GUI you can define the most importance settings and the path of the rc4.key file. After inserting a profile name a klick on [ Save Profile ] will save it. Thereby all settings (INI-file), the rc4.key file and the notes (TXT-file) will be encrypted and saved in the 'ConnectionSafe' folder. To load a profile klick on the [ Load... ] button. All saved data will be decrypted in the folder 'OpenConnections\Profilname\' and appear in the GUI. When you klick the [ Connect ] button all settings in the GUI will be merged to a connection string and passed to VNCviewer.exe to start. So, after loading the profile you are able to change some things. Closing the Programm will delete the whole 'OpenConnections' folder - only the encrypted files will survive. In the case of a programm crash (never happend when i used it) it's enough to delete the folder. Source is included. For more look ->here.

Hi! Nice to see you here This parameter combination works well on our workstations ... If the "patch is required" filed equals to 1 ( [>] button) then the patch will be installed. It's a bit work to find the right expression for it. I use the script on work - so i update the lists every patchday. CU Wolfgang

Hi! A little notice to the lists: Not all patches are active. In Win 2000 and Win 2003 only the critical are marked. Please set the rest by yourself. A little mistake was in the patchlist for Win 2003 SP1. MS05-039 will not be replaced by MS05-047. The Win 2000 SP4 list has a issue too. The IE6 patch doesn't start because the version number of browseui.dll is already ok. 12 of 15 version numbers are the same in this patch. So i changed the test for IE6 and IE5 to shlwapi.dll. Additionally i added a test of installed Java update in Win 2000 list to avoid starting every time. Sorry ...

Hi! Here are the updated Patchlist.csv for 'Win 2000 SP4 + UpdateRollup1' and 'Win XP SP2' and 'Win 2003 SP1' post hotfixes. Workflow is tested on workstations and servers.

Hi! You should use an array ( $c[1] ) instead of vars ( $c1001 ). This should work. I used that for my dynamically growing gui. So my gui can handle systems from 1 to ~20 partitions (then the screen size will be to small ).

Hi! Thanks for your great work. It would be nice if gui builder would remenber the last opend directory. I organize my code on a second partition (not in My Documents) and i'm using many child windows in a project. I always have to switch to the work folder if i have to change something. At the moment i changed "@MyDocumentsDir" to "@ScriptDir" in the source and placed the gui builder in the project folder to have faster access to the forms.

Hi! Windows XP and above doesn't need Qcheck any more ... i read something on MS technet ... I will hope to have some time next week to implemet all the posted Ideas. I hope it will be ok for Svenp when i post the enhanced package. Some more modifications will be done to the mspatch.exe - i need a new parameter for my unattended installations. Wolfgang

Hi! Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4 is out. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891861 The Update includes all Security patches from SP4 till 30.04.2005 and add several other improvements. So you can ease the workstation patching for Win 2000. We will test the update in our server enviroment - i will publish the results here. There were problems after some patches... CU Wolfgang

Hi! Here are the updated Patchlist.csv for Win XP SP2 and Win 2003 SP1 post hotfixes. Workflow is tested on workstations and servers. Sometimes the MSXML 4.0 Patch shows an error ... i'm working on it. CU Wolfgang
