The PCM service is limited to packages that do not require user input and
do not display windows on the server. PATCH.EXE does not require user
input, but it does write to the screen. If you attempt to get around this
by redirecting the output from PATCH.EXE to a file, the PCM service will
still report that the process died, and the file will list the following
error:
Patching Windows NT Server(TM) on the Site Server
For the Windows NT update, the files and the utility program PATCH.EXE
are located in the PATCHES\NT subdirectory of the SMS CD-ROM. For the
Windows for Workgroups update, the files and the utility program
PATCH.EXE are located in the PATCHES\WFW subdirectory of the SMS CD-ROM.
To use the PDF, perform the following steps:
1. Set up the package source directory:
a. Create a package source directory.
b. Create an NT subdirectory and a WFW subdirectory beneath the
package source directory.
c. Copy all the files from the PATCHES\NT directory on the SMS CD-ROM
to the NT subdirectory of the package source directory.
d. Copy all the files from the PATCHES\WFW directory on the SMS CD-
ROM to the WFW subdirectory of the package source directory.
2. Create a package. When you do so, import the PDF by choosing the
Import button in Package Properties, then choosing PATCHRDR.PDF from
the list.
3. Choose the Workstations button.
4. In the source directory box, type the path to the package source
directory you created in step 1.
5. Select Windows NT Patch of Redirector and choose the Properties
button.
6. In the Command Line Properties dialog box, select both the Automated
Command Line and System (Background) Task options.
7. Choose OK to close all the open dialog boxes.
8. Create Run Command On Workstation jobs to run the appropriate package
command on the appropriate computers.
