Script for Windows updates remote installation

Hello,

if you are using WSUS for workstations it is more or less easy, you set GPO to automatically download and install. Then you approve/reject updates in WSUS console. However for server it's better to setup automatically download. The installation itself should be manual. To automate the manual patch installation use this script:

Put this script on the file share, together with follwing cmd

c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe \\server\UpdateHF\updatehf.vbs action:install mode:silent email:yourname@yourdomain.com restart:1

Then you can use GUI for psexec or LANGuard Network Security Scanner or other tools to run this command remotely.
