[Update Nov. 2011]
Nonostante si possano lanciare direttamente da rete senza doverli scaricaricare, ad esempio il programma Autoruns.exe può essere lanciato con il comando:




a volte può essere utile avere una copia in locale di tutti i programmi e poterla sincronizzare a intervalli regolari.

Per far questo possiamo usare il programma Robocopy e un piccolo file batch

Iniziamo creando una directory che conterrà tutti i programmmi, ad esempio:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Sysinternals Suite

dopodichè apriamo il notepad e inseriamo queste righe:

@echo off
set path=c:\Program Files (x86)\Sysinternals Suite
%windir%\system32\robocopy \\live.sysinternals.com\Tools "%path%" /w:0 /r:0 /log+:"%path%\Update.log"

infine salviamo il file come Update.cmd nella directory appena creata.


Possiamo provare anche a lanciarlo e dopo qualche secondo dovremmo vedere i files che vengono scaricati e alla fine un log dell’operazione del file Update.log.
