and Install Updates With or Without Reboot

This PowerShell script queries a WSUS server to find applicable updates, downloads them, and optionally installs them on the local machine. It was adapted from a Microsoft VBScript and uses the Microsoft Update Session COM object. The script lists available updates, allows the user to choose whether to install updates and reboot, and provides output on the installation status and results.

Script: WSUS.ps1
#
Author: Gregory Strike
#
Website: www.GregoryStrike.com
#
Date: 02-19-2010
# Information: This script was adapated from the WUA_SearchDownloadInstall.vbs V
BScript from Microsoft. It uses the
#
Microsoft.Update.Session COM object to query a WSUS server, find
applicable updates, and install them.
#
#
WSUS.ps1 is a little less verbose about what it is doing when com
pared to the orginal VBScript. The
#
lines exist in the code below to show the same information as the
original but are just commented out.
#
#
#
WSUS.ps1 can automatically install applicable updates by passing
a Y to the script. The default
#
behavior is to ask whether or not to install the new updates.
#
#
Syntax: .\WSUS.ps1 [Install] [Reboot]
#
Where [Install] is optional and can be "Y", "Yes", "No"
or "N"
#
Whether or not to install the updates automatically. If
Null, the user will be prompted.
#
#
Where [Reboot] is optional and can be "Y", "Yes", "No" o
r "N", This
#
If updates require a reboot, whether or not to reboot au
tomatically. If Null, the user will
#
be prompted.
