IPublisher.PublishSignedPackage Method (String, String)

 

Applies To: Windows Server Update Services

Publishes a new Package to the WSUS server using an existing pre-signed cab file.

Namespace:   Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration
Assembly:  Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration (in Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.dll)

Syntax

void PublishSignedPackage(
    string sourceCabFile,
    string packageDirectoryName
)

void PublishSignedPackage(
    String^ sourceCabFile,
    String^ packageDirectoryName
)

abstract PublishSignedPackage : 
        sourceCabFile:string *
        packageDirectoryName:string -> unit

Sub PublishSignedPackage (
    sourceCabFile As String,
    packageDirectoryName As String
)

Parameters

• sourceCabFile
  Type: System.String

  Full path and file name of the cab to be published.

• packageDirectoryName
  Type: System.String

  Optional name to use for the Package directory under the Applications server path. Can be null, in which case the directory name will be the Title_PackageId.

Remarks

PublishSignedPackage() should never be used to publish a new revision of an update that has already been published to change the contents of the binaries of that package from one revision to the next as this is not a supported WSUS scenario. To re-publish an existing package with new binaries, first use the IUpdateServer.DeleteUpdate API to delete the original locally published package and then publish normally.

This operation requires WSUS Administrator privileges.
