RE: Patch Mgmt. - MS SMS Installer - Embedding Logon Credentials

["Hagen, Eric" <ehagen () DenverNewspaperAgency com>]

You don't embed the logon credentials.  You must modify each host so that
it's "Automatic Updates" service looks to the SMS server instead of to
WindowsUpdate.  Then you can use the SMS server to "trigger" each PC to
begin pulling the download and runnin the update.

Subject: Patch Mgmt. - MS SMS Installer - Embedding Logon Credentials


  Does anyone have any experience with the MS SMS Installer utility? 
Supposedly you can compile security patches into an .MSI file with Admin 
credentials and then deploy. How do you embed the logon credentials, 
scripting?
