installing patches over network?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 1:36 am

Hello,
is there a way for me to login to a remote windows server
from a script on a unix/Linux box, and execute a .exe on the windows box? Just trying to automate installing patches on different machines rather than doing one by one .
Many Thanks.
Adania

got me on that one too. I know you can install applications and patches automatically on a windows network via policies, but working through a unix box, I have no idea how you'd do something like that.

You can use a remote control program to actually control the mouse, keyboard and see the screen remotely, but it would have to be a cross platform one that works on linux and windows. You install the server component on windows and the client on linux and it would work.

There's a thread somewhere in the software section on a program that I use for this for windows but I think it also has a linux version, but I'm not sure if they can interconnect though. But it's worth a try I guess.

VNC server. Not as good as Radmin, but it's cross platform and you can use IE to see your desktop as well.

Thanks everyone. I'll try to do some more research on this and let you all know where I am with this.
