Script task does not working

[Raj Sameer]

I am running the following script task via Altiris.to install a windows KB.

@echo off

sc config wuauserv start= auto
sc start wuauserv

timeout 5

start "" /w wusa.exe \\servername\sharename\KB1.msu /quiet /norestart

timeout 50
sc stop wuauserv
sc config wuauserv start= disabled

Task runs, enable/start the service but skip the 2nd line for installing the KB and move to the last part for stop/disabling the service.

Would anyone able to help why altiris skipping the installation task.

It does work if i run the script manually on the server.

I suspect it's because Script Tasks will be run as the Local System account that won't have access to the share.

Package kb1.msu as a Software Release and split the rest of your script task intot two scrpts. Then put the whole lot into a Job.

would you give any example please?

KB1.msu is already been pakcaged.

Create a Script Task "WUStart:

sc config wuauserv start= auto
sc start wuauserv
timeout 5

Create another Script Task "WUStop":

timeout 50
sc stop wuauserv
sc config wuauserv start= disabled

Then create a Job and add the following Tasks:

• WUStart
• Deploy package KB1.msu
• WUStop
