Subject: Batching Hot-fix installation

Hi all,

I don't know if this has already been discussed.

Is there any tool or method to create a batch to perform an automatic
installation (i.e. w/o any user input) of MS hotfixes and patches ?

I'm trying to automate the installation of patches on my network with
HFNetChk and some simple command like:

at \\computer-name 23.00 c:\localpath\batch.cmd

Where "batch.cmd" is a script generated from HFNetChk result.

p.s.: This method rely on the presence of both patches and scripts on
localhost because at-launched application run as SYSTEM, and there is no
way to have them access a network share.

Is there any better way to obtain the same results ?
