VBScript for Windows Updates (advert)

Hello,

There are a variety of Windows Update (WUS) VBScripts out there, and here is
ours from its recent commissioning @ Hull College:

www.futuretime15.karoo.net

Its ValidArguments() function, which parses the command-line arguments, is
also worth a look for any newbies to VBScripting.

================================================== ===

Filename: WindowsUpdates.wsf

Description: Automatically downloads and installs relevant updates

Version: Modified 1.0 WindowsUpdates.vbs
Notes: From the Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit for WinXP
Closing its optional console window kills the task
See also %windir%\WindowsUpdate.log for another log

Large portions are Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2005
Modifications to enhance its interface by Mark Fairpo
Commissioned within Hull-College.ac.uk for a resilient VBScript

Use "WindowsUpdates /?" or "CScript WindowsUpdates.wsf /?" for help

================================================== ===

Mark,

I responded to this post under the microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript ng.

In the future, if posting the same information to multiple ngs, please do
not multi post, but instead cross-post (one post to multiple groups at
once). That way when people respond to your message, they can respond to it
on all ngs that you posted to.

Fair comment. I was using Microsoft's web-interface, but you infer using an
independent Newsgroup interface. As we use Novell GroupWise and a locked-down
Firewall this is not available, so I will refrain from multi-posting in
future.
