[THIN] Re: Installing Hotfixes via Installation Manager

I have used IM to deploy the following MetaFrame hotfixes to a farm of 16
servers without a problem.

RME102W006
XE102W005
XE102W022
XE102W029
XE102W036
XE102W064

All you need to do is add the MSI file directly to the CMC. There is no
need for any transform files or command line options.  If you group them
all into a package group you can deploy them all when building a new
server.

Cheers

Hotfixes for MetaFrame...  specifically, I want to use IM to bring all
servers up to a certain patch level and I want to use IM to do it if
possible.  This would be especially useful to me for any server that comes
up from scratch.

Hotfixes for Windows or MetaFrame? MetaFrame hotfixes can be easily done
with MSI files.  Windows hotfixes sometimes need you to create an IM
package with an unattended install of hotfixname.exe /q

Does anyone know if it is possible to push hotfixes to farm servers using
Installation Manager??  If so, is it really as simple as publishing the MSI
package and are there any gotchas???

Thanks!
