Hi! Please forgive what may be a "newbie" question - I don't know
vbscripting, so this may be a simple fix (I hope so!)

I have 4 WinXP machines that are used for computer forensics investigations,
and are therefore kept off the internet. I'd like to get them updated, since
they were only running SP1a. I was able to update SP2 by downloading the
200-something MB update, but I want to be able to get the rest of the updates
on a fairly regular basis, and I thought that the WUA may be a solution.

I copied the example file found here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...es_offline.asp
and ran it at a command line like the article said. I do have the Script
Agent Installed, and I think that I installed the WUA correctly (it was a cab
file, so I extracted the files into a folder on the drive - if this isn't
correct, I'm not sure what to do with it.)

When I run the vbs file from the command line, I get Error 0x8024402C -
according to the MS site means "Same as ERROR_WINHTTP_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED - The
proxy server or target server name cannot be resolved" - I have no idea what
that means. When I run it from the GUI - it tells me line 6 is null, if that
helps any.

Sorry for the epistle - thought giving as much info as possible might help.
If there is something else you need to know, please tell me. Thanks for any
advice/help you can give. If there is a better way for me to do this, please
let me know that too :-)

-Tara
