Hi all,
I wrote a script to do a one-off check against a remote machine if a specific kb is installed. I want it to loop if response to a read-host is either y or s. choosing "y" works as expected but if I choose s i run into an issue with it returning to the beginning but falling outside the loop. Below is my code. If you read through it, you will see what i'm trying to do. I commented out the actions if "s" is selected because i'm thinking i'm constructing my functions/loop wrong or missing something. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
