Unattended Update Release Notes for Windows* 2000
=================================================

Windows 2000 Unattended Update Files:
W2KUPDAT.EXE   - Update executable
W2KUPDAT.TXT   - This text file

This update package performs unattended software updates
under Windows 2000 for the NIC software.

W2KUPDAT.EXE can be invoked via command line options.
It upgrades the drivers silently by copying the files and updating
the registry.

W2KUPDAT.EXE, the PnP INF file (NETxxxx.INF) and the associated
software must be placed in the same directory.
Note: Do not try to use the SETUPAPI.DLL or CFGMGR32.DLL files
that may have shipped with this version of the unattended update
utilities under Windows 2000.  These DLLs are for use with
Windows 9x versions only.  Be sure to remove these files from the 
directory where the unattended update will run from.

W2KUPDAT.EXE is invoked as follows:

      W2KUPDAT [-iInfFileName] [-h"HardwareId"]

where:

      InfFileName   = a fully qualified path to the PnP INF
                      This parameter is optional.  If it is not
                      specified, the current directory is searched
                      for the first NET*.INF to use.

      HardwareId    = is a fully qualified PCI hardware Id for the
                      device to update.
                      E.g. PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1229&SUBSYS_00098086
                      This parameter is optional.  If it is not
                      specified, all 8086 network devices in the
                      PnP INF file are updated.

Examples:

    To update all 8086 network devices in the PnP INF of the current directory

        W2KUPDAT


    To update all 8086/1229/8086/1009 devices in the PnP INF of
    the current directory

        W2KUPDAT -h"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1229&SUBSYS_10098086"

    To update all 8086/1229/8086/1009 devices in the NET.INF of
    the Update directory on drive D:

        W2KUPDAT -iD:\Update\NET.INF -h"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1229&SUBSYS_10098086"


Update errors only are written to a log file named W2KUPDATE.LOG in the
%systemroot%\system32 directory, for example: 
	"C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\W2KUPDATE.LOG".  

W2KUPDAT.EXE writes "Pass" or "Fail" to the "Unattended Update" value at registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\NIC
