    wuaucpl.cpl doesn’t work. Can’t figure out how to open Windows Update -window from CLI in Vista or W7.

    What about SMS “Run Advertised Programs” from Control Panel?

    Oliver what do you mean by “Run Advertised Programs”?

  10. Bo says:

    Run advertised programs is not standard in Windows.
    You can try open it with
    RunDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL %WINDIR%system32ccmsmsrap.cpl

    Run Advertised won’t run directly from SMSRAP.cpl on the run line.
    I needed the full exact path, it was remarkably picky
    on Run line C:WINDOWSsystem32CCMSMSRAP.cpl
    This works on our systems

    :-)

    Ok on my prior comment, it removed all the backslashes. Helpful huh ?
    (just put a backslash inplace of these spaces?)
    c: WINDOWS system32 CCM SMSRAP.cpl

    Use the below shortcuts in the Run prompt to open Run Advertisement Program and Configuration Manager for SCCM

    Type “Control smsrap” in the Run dialog box for Run Advertisement Program to launch.
    Type “Control smscfgrc” in the Run dialog box for Configuration Manager Properties.
