I need help writing a login script to patch for the recent MS JScript Vulnerability

I need help writing a login script to patch for the recent MS JScript Vulnerability. 98/Me/NT4 machines run sample1.exe. 2000/XP runs sample2.exe. So basically I need a batch that would identify the OS and apply the correct patch pertaining to the OS. Since the patch requires a reboot is there any way to tell the batch that if the patch has been already been installed from a previous login do not run the rest of the batch.

Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated

Here's a batch file for determining what OS is on the system. Feel free to edit it and use it for your needs.

Batch file starts:

@ECHO OFF
VER|FIND "XP">NUL
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO WinXP
VER|FIND "2000">NUL
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Win2K
VER|FIND "NT">NUL
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO WinNT
VER|FIND "Mil">NUL
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO WinME
VER|FIND "98">NUL
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Win98
VER|FIND "95">NUL
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO Win95
GOTO BADOS

:WinXP
ECHO WinXP
GOTO END

:Win2K
ECHO Win2K
GOTO END

:WinNT
ECHO WinNT
GOTO END

:WinME
ECHO WinME
GOTO END

:Win98
ECHO Win98
GOTO END

:Win95
ECHO Win95
GOTO END

:BADOS
ECHO This OS is not supported
GOTO END

:END

Batch file ends

This combined with the recommendation by ryangorman will do what you desire.

Hope this helps!
