   Doug,

   Great tool! 1 idea to reload lists is to keep it in NotePad then cut/paste as needed. Question: I get a lot of “Aborted. Overall Installation Result: Aborted”. Any ideas?

   Thanks again,

   Lenny

   Lenny – have you looked at “C:\rrx\rrx.log” on a machine where the updates installation aborted? Any clues there? What happens if you then connect to the remote machine via remote desktop and initiate the WSUS installation via the icon in the system tray? Do the updates install correctly? All that RemoteRebootX does is connect to the remote machine and initiate the WSUS installation, just like when you initiate it manually via the system tray icon. So, if there’s a problem it could be that the account you’re using doesn’t have the appropriate permissions, or that there’s just some generic issue with the WSUS client on the remote machine. Are these Windows 2003 machines?

   One other thing that I forgot to mention that can cause the remote installation to abort is that certain updates (usually with Windows XP or other consumer OS) require the user to manually accept the terms of a license agreement in order for the installation to proceed. When you execute the updates installation remotely using Remote Reboot X, this isn’t possible, so the installation aborts.

   I think there might be a solution to this issue. According to windowsupdate.log from a server showing the "Aborted. Overall installation result: Aborted" message:
   2009-12-10 20:03:22:058 3036 c60 COMAPI - All updates have unaccepted EULAs. This usually means that an API caller did not call IUpdate::AcceptEula as required.
   2009-12-10 20:03:22:058 3036 c60 COMAPI - WARNING: Exit code = 0x80240023
   I'm not sure as to how your asking WuAu to initiate the updates, but I'd assume you hooking the native api's and not using wuauclt? if so it should be possible to just call the function before installing any updates requiring it?

   gilrim - this is a great tip. I think you're right that I should be able to programmatically accept the EULAs. I'll try to get this into a future release. Thanks again or pointing it out!!
