How to query SAUConfigDLL for update status?

TomLewis

This page gives an example of how to change the update server address using a VB script querying SAUConfigDLL.dll.

I'd like to query this dll for the current status of an update action (eg has it finished, maybe also what is it currently doing). I'm assuming this is possible as the same article states: 'This file provides automatic capabilities for reading and changing the configuration of AutoUpdate.' 

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

    As far as I can see using oleview and some experimenting it doesn't look possible to get this info using a scripting language at least.

    function FunIsSAUUpdating()
    
	FunIsSAUUpdating = false
   
    for each process in getobject("winmgmts://.").instancesof("win32_process")
		if lcase(process.name) = "alupdate.exe"  then
			FunIsSAUUpdating = true
			exit function
		end if
    next
	
end function

    would give you a function you could use to check if AutoUpdate is updating though.

    Any other info you're trying to get at?

    Regards,

    Jak
