Does anyone know of a way to pre-cache the patch files for specific fixlets without having to go through the motions of patching a system?
Example, Fixlet 1106801 MS11-068. I’d like “continue if {(size of it = 2302082 AND sha1 of it = “34685883cfd3bc846054120d6937978784d3c3b5”) of file “Windows6.0-KB2556532-x86.msu” of folder “__Download”}” to be true. I.E. Right-click on the fixlet and click “Download” and it downloads the patch from windows, SHAs it and stuffs in the /sha1 folder.
Will the “File Pre-Cache Wizard” located in the patch management domain do what you need? By default it only pre-caches the file onto relays, but with some modification I’m sure you could apply it to all clients if that is what you desire.
I’ll look into this, but to be more specific, I’m looking for a solution that cache’s the files onto the BES server locally. This is part of an AirGap solution. To further define my problem, this could also be fixed if the download cache tool (BESDownloadCacher.exe) for AirGap could do downloads for Custom Sites.
