Integrating WindowsXP-KB824146.exe with Unattended installation ?

[Martin Searle]

Hi,

Is it possible to integrate the KB824146 patch into an
Unattended RIS installation of Windows XP ?

I am at the moment automatically applying the patch during
the XP setup but unfortunately the network is setup first
and then the patch (about 5 or so mins later) applied,
however during this time it gets infected with the Nachi
worm (which seems to be endemic on our network). This is
via the cmdlines.txt file.

Obviously setting the machine up without networking it
gets around this problem but it prevents it from
automatically joining our domain (which is a pain).

Is it possible to extract the files and then replace the
installation files with them (similar to applying an SP to
a un-sp unattended installation)? I am using RIS to setup
my machines.

Yes, we are trying to purge our network of the nachi worms
but due to the nature of our organisation these things
take time.

Thanks for any help,

Yes, use the /X option to extract the patch. You then copy the ole32.dll,
rpcrt4.dll, and rpcss.dll to your i386 source. Find the ole32.dl_,
rpcrt4.dl_, and rpcss.dl_ files in the source i386 and either rename them or
delete them. I usually rename the compressed files to .old.

You can also do this for the Messenger hotfix.

Many thanks, that seems to have done the trick. With the
machine now not getting infected by Nachi on build I can
leave our SUS server to patch the machine according to the
schedule.

Thanks again,
