WUA: Planning the installation of updates
Published: October 15, 2020 - 2:26 PM
Hello,
with the October KBs released, we can finally test the WUA features.
We successfully deployed the new updates without any problems in what we consider "manual" mode. This means that once the updates are pending in the Windows Update section of the console for a workstation, we launch the update with a right-click and select "Run update installation."
However, in our architecture, we have 25 remote sites whose workstations are used for a significant portion of the day (medical centers), say from 5 AM to 1 AM every day except Sunday.
Is it possible to script a WOL (Wake-Only Release) from WAPT, then launch the installation of the pending updates at a specific time and day, and then shut down the workstation?
