QFE Checks [STORPORT.QFES]

This section specifies an additional QFE check, also known as KB (Knowledge Base)

updates, during installation. To add a Windows QFE check to the configuration file,

edit the [STORPORT.QFES] section in the AutoPilot configuration file. You may place

this section anywhere within the file as long as it is not contained within another

section. This section contains a single line for each QFE that is to be checked. Up to 10

lines are checked, more than that may exist but they are ignored. All parameters in each

line must be specified. These lines have the format:

qfe = "qfe name", "path and file name", "file version", "applicable

OS"

qfe name

The name of the item being checked. For example, QFE 2846340.

The name should facilitate searching Microsoft's website for any

required code updates.
