Orchestrator and Windows Updates (#2)
Installing Windows updates via a Runbook. Well looks like this is going to be harder than it seemed. I have to ask for suggestions. I'll keep it short for now and build on it if needed. what I'm stuck with: 1. we have a maintenance window where we install the Windows updates. I've got 4 hours and I need to start exactly at 8pm. 2. we cannot set all servers to autmomatic updates (dont ask). that leaves me with a bunch (maybe 200 or so) servers that have to be patched manually. I would be very happy to create a runbook that would tell ServerA to install the updates. Basically just the same as clicking the INSTALL UPDATES button! questions: should I continue to to concentrate on the /UpdateNow switch? I've got some conflictin info on it. I've seen some powershell scripts and vbs scripts that seem to do the trick but I dont understand why it would take 100 lines to code the exact same thing as pressing a button. How are you doing it? Once this as all been figured out I'll post
