how to speed up the Last Contact? Paul S. 5/16/2007 12:32:02 PM Hi all, Is there anyway to speed up the time it takes to check a server for patches? It looks like it checks once every 24 hours, is this true? how can I have it check x number of times per day? Thanks -Paul

But be very careful with this as it can place a large loading on the server with almost no benefit. You may detect every hour but the client will still only install ONCE A DAY at the scheduled time. You can run wuauclt /detect now from a cmd prompt at the client the get an early detection and download for testing or for manually updating a server say. This does not unduly load the server since the incidence is quite low, being manually instigated. > >Regards, > >Ed > >"Paul S." <Paul S.[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >news:F0484EF5-7C1E-40F1-852B-18789E79E9BD[ at ]microsoft.com... >> Hi all, >> >> Is there anyway to speed up the time it takes to check a server for >> patches? >> It looks like it checks once every 24 hours, is this true? how can I have >> it >> check x number of times per day? >> >> Thanks >> >> -Paul > -- Dave Mills There are 10 type of people, those that understand binary and those that don't.
