Hi,

Does anybody know if there's some way to perform windows
updates on the commandline unattended? For example, we
are trying to automatically update a computer after an
image is pushed to it without user intervention.

Thanks,

Matt

You would need to download the updates first, from e.g.
the Windows Update Catalog:

and then create a script that install the updates, more about this here:

So, there's no way to fire up the windows updater from the
commandline on demand and have it download and install a
certain set of updates (like Critical Updates)?

Torgeir,

Lucy replied to a similar question recently with

<title>KB296861 - How to Install Multiple Windows Updates or Hotfixes with Only One Reboot</title>

(which isn't referred to by your linked article, or as far as I could tell
by any of the articles that it linked to.)


FYI

Automatic Updates configured to download/install on schedule might be what
you need - take a look at
