Can someone tell me what the https://WSUS/selfupdate switch does?

[Guest Douggg]

I just installed WSUS 3.0 - 64 bit and noticed an entry I had never seen

before in the "Install details" dialog box. It was

https://WSUS-30/selfupdate (wsus-30 is my server name).

 

Can someone tell me what the /selfupdate command switch is for? And when to

use it? Is this something unique to 64bit?

 

Thanks
