SUMMARY
When you update Microsoft Windows for Workgroups clients from the
compact disc for Windows NT Server version 3.5 or 3.51, and there are
multiple clients that need to be updated, you can create a batch file that
can be run either from a login script or through Systems Management Server
(SMS).
MORE INFORMATION
Before you attempt to run a batch file, make sure that the directory being
shared has sufficient share and directory permissions and that file
attributes are not read-only. You will also need to include in your batch
file the attrib command to remove read-only attributes from the files that
are being replaced on the local drive. Net.exe and Net.msg should be copied
to the Windows directory. The remaining files should be copied to the
system directory. Restart Windows.
NOTE: Test this on a single computer first before broad implementation.
