Hi khanand,

We use published information from Microsoft in the security bulletins to get the download urls…

You might try using this in the session debugger or the Excel Connector:

(firsts 8 of name of it, first matches (regex “(http://\S+)”) of scripts of actions of it) of bes fixlets whose (name of it starts with “MS”)

hey ben,

thanks for this … its exellent. Gives me the patch release, url of MS patch detail and the url of the file download for the MS release in question.

I bet others could find this very handy if they ever need to manualy download a bunch MS patches :slight_smile:

thx Andreas
